※NOTE:

1. This unit utilizes Triple DES, an advanced encryption algorithm. Under

“SECURE Mode”, the voice data is compressed and encrypted. Therefore, the

user may notice that voice quality is slightly different than when under normal

“Clear Mode” calling.

2. Once SECURE mode has been invoked, the unit can not return back to CLEAR

mode during the same call. This operation is designed to insure that the user

cannot unintentionally interrupt the secure communications channel once it has

been established at both ends. Furthermore, during SECURE mode conversation,

if there is any extension line eavesdroppers or wiretaps activated during the call,

SafeTalk has special protective circuits to detect and interrupt the conversation

in order to ensure the ultimate in voice security.

3. In certain countries, the fixed line operators may route the calls by various

networks (such as VoIP networks) for long distance and/or international calling.

This may affect the key exchange process; which is enabled by SafeTalk’s

built-in algorithms. In these cases, the user may need to press the “SECURE”

button MORE THAN ONE TIME to establish SECURE connection.
