Sanyo CLT9839 User Manual

Congratulations

Your Sanyo 900-MHz COMPANDER PLUS cordless telephone is a fine-quality home communications product. It is carefully designed and produced by a world leader of consumer and industrial electronics equipment. With proper maintenance and care, it will provide you with years of enjoyment and convenience.

Main features:

900-MHz Technology

Superior Range - The use of 900-MHz frequency band for signal transmission

between base and handset means greater communication range compared to conventional 43—49 MHz cordless telephones. In normal situations, approximately 4 times greater distance can be achieved. Ultra-Low Noise - The high frequency communication has also significantly reduced noise level. 40-Channel Auto Scan - Your new telephone uses one of 40 channels in the 900-MHz frequency band. It automatically selects a clear channel every time you receive or place a call on the handset. Should you wish to switch channels during a call, the handset provides a SCAN button.

COMPANDER PLUS Noise Reduction

This fourth generation of the Sanyo’s original noise reduction technology now filters out more background noise.

LCD Display and Call Manager Features* on Handset

The backlit LCD display on the handset is compatible with many special services offered by your telephone company, including Caller ID, Visual Call Waiting and Call Waiting Option services*. When you subscribe to these services, you can see the caller’s name/number on the display before you answer a call, or even when you’re already on the phone. The callers list memory of this telephone keeps a log of as many as 30 recent callers, which you can review on the display. The display also shows the number you dial, date/time and operation prompts. Display language is English or French selectible.

*Require a subscription. Please ask your telephone company for more details.

30-Name/Number Directory

You can program 30 telephone numbers, together with each party’s name, into the directory memory. You can transfer numbers saved in the Caller ID log to the directory, view the directory name/number list on the handset display, and dial out the number on display at the touch of a button.

Handsfree Speakerphones and Dual Keypad

Handsfree speakerphone is included on both cordless handset and base station. With a dialing keypad on both units, the CLT 9389 is like two telephones, and serves you as an intercom or 2-way pager.

Power Failure Backup System

This unique feature allows you to place or receive a call on the cordless telephone during a power interruption of up to 20 hours. Four AA batteries are required (not supplied with the telephone).

DESCRIPTION

Cordless telephones operate on the same principle as a two-way radio. The location of the base station determines the range of operation. In most homes, maximum range is obtained by locating the base station at the highest point in the house.

The base station operates from a 120 V AC electrical outlet. Connect the base station to a telephone line by simply plugging it into a standard telephone jack. The handset is powered by a heavy-duty rechargeable battery. This SANYO cordless telephone is hearing-aid compatible.

CAUTION

Charge the handset battery pack before using the cordless phone for the first time. Do not attempt to use the phone before charging the battery pack for a full 10 hours.

disposal.
