Congratulations Your Sanyo 900-MHz COMPANDER PLUS cordless telephone is a fine-quality home communications product. It is carefully designed and produced by a world leader of consumer and industrial electronics equipment. With proper maintenance and care, it will provide you with years of enjoyment and convenience. Main features: 900-MHz Technology Superior Range - The use of 900-MHz frequency band for signal transmission between base and handset means greater communication range compared to conventional 43--49 MHz cordless telephones. In normal situations, approximately 4 times greater distance can be achieved. Ultra-Low Noise - The high frequency communication has also significantly reduced noise level. 40-Channel Auto Scan - Your new telephone uses one of 40 channels in the 900-MHz frequency band. It automatically selects a clear channel every time you receive or place a call on the handset. Should you wish to switch channels during a call, the handset provides a SCAN button. COMPANDER PLUS Noise Reduction This fourth generation of the Sanyo's original noise reduction technology now filters out more background noise.
