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.
