INTRODUCTION

TO YOUR NEW PHONE

The EXP 8000 Series features include AutoTalk and AutoStandby.
AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the
handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time pushing
buttons or flipping switches. AutoStandby allows you to hang up
by simply returning the handset to the base.

The UltraClear Plus true compander circuitry virtually eliminates
background noise. This innovative technology, together with 30
different channels, provides you with the best possible reception
during all your conversations.

To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from
your phone being activated by other equipment, the EXP 8000
Series has Random Code™ digital security which automatically
selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset
and base. Also, the AutoSecure™ feature electronically locks your
phone when the handset is in the base.

About the digital security code

This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent
unauthorized access to your base unit. This security code prevents
other cordless handsets from making calls through your base unit.
A random security code will be assigned automatically between
your base unit and handset when you charge the battery pack for
the first time.
If you want to reset the security code, see page 18.
