INTRODUCTION/FEATURES[ 4 ]
The TRUC46 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 TRUC46 series 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.
RocketDial™ is a one touch speed dial key that automatically dials your most important or frequently
called number. The number dialed, is a preset number stored by the user.
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.
