Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market! The

Sprint

1733 has been designed to offer a new standard in cordless telephone technology.

Unlike most other cordless phones,

the

Sprint

1733 digitizes your voice using advanced digital voice coding to provide noise and distortion free performance. In most conditions you will not be able to tell you are using a cordless phone. Gone are the annoyances of static, interference and having to listen to other people's conversations on your cordless phone.

The

Sprint

1733 scrambles your

voice before it transmits it. This allows

you the security of knowing that no one can tune in and eavesdrop on your conversations.

The

Sprint

1733 decodes and displays name and number Caller ID (CID) information where available and when subscribed to. The alpha-numeric display will show both the name and number of the calling party (when available). Up to

andlor

phone number digits can be

name characters

displayed on the LCD.

Base Unit. This enables you to make and receive calls hands-free at the Base. In addtion, the Intercom feature allows two-way communication between the Handset and Base Unit.

Pressing

INTER.COM

on the Base can

also assist you in locating a misplaced

Handset.

The

Sprint

1733 uses special memory in both the Base Unit and Handset which is not susceptible to power failures. This provides perma-

nent storage of all speed dial numbers, CID information as well as the Base Unit and Handset security codes.

When a spare battery is installed in

the Base Unit, the

Sprint

1733 uses this battery to provide operational backup in case of power failure. In this way, you have access to all normal phone functions during a total power outage. Calls can still be placed and

received without interruption. More

than 4 hours backup will be possible

with a fully charged battery in the Base Unit.

The phone will also alert you when

you are Out of Range even when you're

not using the phone!

With the

Sprint

1733, the user can easily answer a call by pressing any key other than the or

PPU keys. In addition, the handset

FCC

Part

The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone network through a

modular telephone jack (USOC RJllC, RJ11W or RJl4).

Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible.

During notification, you will be informed

of your right to file a complaint with the

FCC.

Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the phone company or Party Lines.

The REN is useful in determining the

number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still enable the devices to ring when you receive a call. The general rule is that the REN value

Notice:The Ringer Equivalence Number(REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination of a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the

Notice: The Industry Canada label identifiescertified equipment. Thiscertification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications

network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be

installed using an acceptable method
