Thank you for purchasinga VTechcordless
telephone. This manual isdesignedto famil-
iarize you with your 917ADX. To get the
maximum use from your new phone, we sug-
gest that you read this Instruction Manual
before operating it.
Your VTech 917ADXis a single line, 900
MHz, analog cordless phone with a Speaker-
phone and second keypad on the Base Unit.
Eachtime the Handset is placed inthe Base
Unit,one of more than 65,000 Digital Security
Codes is randomlyselected. The Handset
and Base Unit recognizeeach other based
upon this security code. This minimizes the
chance of another cordless phone accessing
your telephone line. The Base Unit retains
the current security code and channel in
memory, even if it is unplugged.
Otherspecialfeatures are:
10 Number Speed Dial Memory
