with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal
interference from other cordless phone.
Random Code™ digital security automatically selects one of
over 65,000 codes for the handset and base.
These features enhance your phone’s security and also
prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being
activated by other equipment.
The EXS 9910 features include AutoTalkTM and AutoStandbyTM
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
hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.
