WELCOME/FEATURES[ 4 ]
The EXT1460 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. 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. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to
the base.
To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by
other equipment, the EXT1460 has Random Code™digital security, which automatically selects
one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecure™
electronically locks your phone when the handset is in the base.
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band”vs. a “single narrow band”
used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity
of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

This cordless telephone must be set up before use. Follow these steps:
About the digital security code
This cordless telephone uses a digital
security code to prevent unauthorized

code prevents other cordless handsets
from making calls through your base
unit. If you want to change the
security code, see page 50.
Step 1 (page 9)
Unpack the telephone and accessories.
Step 2 (page 10)
Next, choose the best location to set up the
base unit.
Step 3 (page 11 to 18)
Then, insert the battery pack into the handset.
Connect the base unit. You must charge the battery
pack for 15-20 hours before plugging into the
phone line and using the phone.
Step 4 (page 19 to 21)
Finally, set the Caller ID options, and store your area
code in the memory to use the Caller ID service.
Choose the language of your display.
Note: Skip the area code setting if your calling area
requires 10-digit dialing.
