User manual UNIDEN 1660 - OWNERS GUIDE

PAGE 1 Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and versatile cordless telephone systems available. To enjoy the best performance from the UNIT's many features, please read this Owner's Guide carefully and save it for future reference. INTRODUCTION TO YOUR MULTI-HANDSET SYSTEM TELEPHONE The unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. The base unit, when connected to AC power and a telephone line, can support the operation of up to eight handsets. You can now place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in you home or office that you have AC power to connect the handset chargers. Since the system and the adjunct handsets (available separately) are system telephones, you can enjoy advanced telephone features like handset to handset intercom and call transfer. The system Directory holds up to 80 names and phone numbers, and can be accessed from any of the handsets. All of your commonly dialed numbers can be quickly retrieved for easy, onetouch dialing. 2.4 GHz FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology offers extended range, clarity and digital security. A belt clip and headset jack (2.5 mm) provide handsfree convenience when used with an optional headset.
