Description:

You can't beat the Toshiba SG1700 for looks, with its sleek, modern design in black and silver. But this phone also has brains, in the form of state-of-the-art 2.4 GHz digital spread-spectrum technology. Combine all that with an assortment of convenient phone features and you've got a knockout both in style and functionality.

The Toshiba SG1700 uses the higher-frequency 2.4 GHz range of the FM radio spectrum, opened to cordless phones only in 1998. The shorter wavelengths used at this range means the phone's transmitter/receiver encounters less interference. The 2.4 GHz range is also far above the range accessible to most scanners, so there's less risk of eavesdropping. Toshiba's Call Protect scrambling ensures your privacy.

When you add digital spread-spectrum technology to a 2.4 GHz cordless, you get the best security and clarity currently available. Spread-spectrum phones switch rapidly from frequency to frequency at random, using less power and encountering less interference. The SG1700's auto-scan feature automatically switches between 30 channels in the 2.4 GHz range to find the best signal.

This phone also comes with a two-way intercom function, allowing you to talk to someone in another room using either the base or handset. The lighted keypad makes it easy to dial in dim lighting. Reverse battery charging on the base allows for either face-down or face-up charging.

Other useful phone features include a 20-number memory for frequently dialed numbers and last-number redial. It has a 2.5-millimeter jack for use with an optional headset. It is also compatible with hearing aids, and can be mounted on a desk or wall. The included belt clip allows you to carry the handset with you, hands-free, as you walk around the house. Press a button on the base to locate the handset anywhere within range.
