The EXA2245 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. AutoStandby
allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.
The UltraClear PlusTM true compander circuitry virtually eliminates background noise. This innovative
technology, together with 20 different channels, provides you with the best possible reception during
all your conversations.
To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, the EXA2245 has Random CodeTM digital security which automatically selects one of over
262,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, the AutoSecureTM feature electronically
locks your phone when the handset is in the base.
RocketDialTM 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.

between your base unit and
handset when you charge the
battery pack for the first time.
If you want to change the
security code, see page 36.
