Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market! The AUDIOVOX DT 921c has been de- signed to offer a new standard in cordless telephone technology.

Unlike most other cordless phones, the

AUDIOVOX DT 921c digitizes:'your voice using advanced ADPCM digital voice coding to provide noise and distortion free performance. In most conditions you will not be able to tell you are using a cordless phone. Gone are the annoyances of static, interfer- ence and having to listen to other people's conversations on your cord- less phone.

The AUDIOVOX DT 921c scrambles your voice before it transmits it. This Iallows you the security of knowing that

~no one can tune in and eavesdrop on your conversations.

The AUDIOV9X DT 921c decodes and displays name and/or number Caller ID (CID) information where available and

when subscribed to. The alpha- numeric display can show both the .

name and number of the calling party. Up to 24 name characters or 11 phone number digits can be displayed on the LCD.

With the AUDIOVOX DT 921c, the user can easily answer a call by pressing any key other than the OFF, MUTE or VOLUME Keys. In addition, the handset keypad and LCD illuminate while the handset rings to signal an incoming call. This is very useful in a dark environment.

DT '21

The AUDIOVOX DT 921c also pro- vides a one-way Page/Find. Pressing the base PAGE key will cause the handset to ring in a manner which distinguishes it from normal incoming ringing. This can be used to alert the handset user, or to simply locate the handset in the event that it is mis- placed.

The AUDIOVOX DT 921 c uses special memory in both the base and handset which is not susceptible to power feilures. This provides permanent storage of all memory dial numbers,

CID information as well as the base and handset security codes.

When an optional battery pack is installed in the base unit, the AUDIOVOX DT 921c uses this battery pack to provide operational backup in

case of power failure. In this way you~ have access to all normal phone

functions during a total power outage. Calls can still be placed and received without interruption. More than 5 hours backup will be possible with a fully charged battery pack in the base unit.

The AUDIOVOX DT 921c informs you that another extension is currently iii- -

use on the same phone line. The phone will also alert you when you are Out of Range, even when you're not using the phone!

NOISE OR\INTEf::!Fgf3~NCE-

Your AUDIOVOX DT921c cordless telephone has auto-channel scan circuitry which will detect excess noise and change the channel of the phone to reduce it. This is done automatically.

Since the AUDIOVOX DT921 c is a fully digital phone, it does not suffer from noise associated with regular cordless phones. At times you may experience occasional "drop outs", especially at the extreme edges of the phone's range. Simply move closer to the base unit and this will disappear.

AUTOM,ATIC SECUR.!TY CODING Your AUDIOVOX DT921c phone is factory set with 16.8 million possible security codes. This unique security code allows your handset and base to recognize each other, and minimizes

+ the possibility of another cordless phone using your telephone line.

OUT OF RANGE INDICATION

If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer communicate, the handset will make a quick series of beeps to signal Out of

Range.

If the handset is active when taken out-of-range, it will beep twice a second and enter standby mode after 25 seconds if the link is not reestablished. If the handset is brought back within range, it will automatically re-Iink.

For out-of-range in standby mode, the handset will beep once and then at 1.5 second intervals, will display "CHANNEL SERACHING" on the LCD, and scan all channels in an attempt to re-Iink with the base.
