INTRODUCTION
Digital Spread Spectrum Technologyutilises a digital transmission
and a “wider frequency band” compared to a “single narrow band” 30/39 Standard
Analogue transmission. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of
digital sound, extended range and minimal interference from other cordless phones.
Random Code TM digital security automatically selects one of over 16 million
codes for the handset and base. This feature prevents unauthorised calls as a result
of your phone being activated by other equipment.
