INTRODUCTION
Congratulations ! You have
purchased one of the best
performing cordless telephones on
the market!
The Ultra RangeMax digital
cordless telephone is a highly
integrated system that uses Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum
Technology. One of more than 16
million possible digital security
codes is randomly selected every
time the handset is placed in the
base unit. The handset and base
will recognize each other based on
this security code, which minimizes
the chance of another cordless
phone using your telephone line.
Additionally, a digital scrambling
code is used during a conversation
to prevent voice code leakage in
the air.This scrambling code is
generated from 65,000 possible
combinations.

FEA TURES ARE:
• ONE TOUCH SPEED DIALING

HANDSET BATTERIES
To charge the batteries, place the handset in the base unit. The
CHARGING indicator will light to show the handset is seated properly and
the batteries are charging.

to let the battery pack charge fully.
T o maximize the charge capacity of
the NiCad battery pack, recharge
the battery for several cycles. Once
you have properly conditioned the rechargeable battery, the maximum
battery life should be 4 hours of continuous talk time or 5 days of standby .
After initial charging, a typical maintenance charge is 8 hours.
