Congratulations ! You have
purchased one of the best
performing cordless telephones on
the market!
VT 1980 I VT 1981
The
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
air.This scrambling code is
the
generated from 65,000 possible
combinations.
