[ 3 ]WELCOME/FEATURES
The EXT1460 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the base so you dont have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.
To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, the EXT1460 has Random Codedigital security, which automatically selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecure electronically locks your phone when the handset is in the base.
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a wider frequency band vs. a single narrow band used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.
