- One handset is packaged with each base.

each handset.
- Calls can be transferred from one handset to another, even if the call does not
normally work at the second handset.
- Handset intercom numbers can range from 10 to 99.
- Multiple systems can be used in the same area.
- One or two handsets are designated as "admin," and are used for programming.
- The base can be connected directly to analog line(s) from your local phone
company, VoIP lines, or analog station ports on a PBX or hybrid phone system.
- Bases need electrical power and a source of dialtone.
- Handset charging cradles need electrical power, but no phone connection.

peak RF output).

the base (but still within range of each other).
- Half duplex voice paging to one handset, several handsets, all handsets.
- Text messaging from handset to handset.
- Handsets have 2.5mm headset jacks.
- Each handset is supplied with a stubby antenna, plus a longer antenna for
maximum range. The longer antenna will provide about 20% more coverage
then the short stubby antenna; but the stubby antenna is less likely to poke you
in the eye or get caught in a beaded curtain.
- The base can use an optional external antenna to increase range.
- The handset weighs just 6.2 ounces, and measures 6.3 x 2.3 x 1.2 inches with
the short antenna.
- Digital Spread Spectrum radio transmission with Frequency Hopping resists
noise and provides extremely high resistance to eavesdropping. Frequency
changes 100 times per second.
