FEATURES

The Uniden®2.4 GHz cordless phones are designed and engineered to exacting standards for

reliability, long life, and outstanding performance.

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band”

used in standard digital transmissions. The 2.4 GHz frequency range was recently released to

commercial communications. It provides secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound,

extended range, and reduced interference.

• 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum

• 30 Channel Autoscan

• 10-Number Memory Dialing

• Desk or Wall Mountable

• Tone/Pulse Dialing

• Handset Volume Control

• 32 Digit Redial

• Page/Find

• AutoTalk™

• AutoStandby™

• 6 Hour Talk Time

• 7 Day Standby Time

• Hearing Aid Compatible

The TRU 241 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.

INTRODUCTION [ 1 ]

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 TRU 241 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.

To get the most from your phone, please read this owner’s manual thoroughly. Also, be sure to
