and outstanding performance. It operates in the range of 1.9 GHz Unlicensed Personal
Communication Service (UPCS), which represents state-of-the-art design and
engineering.
Your wireless telephone provides unsurpassed range, clarity, and fully-secured
communications using scrambled voice information.
The handset comes with one Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. When fully
charged your handset provides up to 4 hours of talk and 40 hours of standby time.
It also has 12 handset volume adjustments (plus silent), 8 ring levels, and a lockable
dial pad.
