Description:
The V-Tech VT1922 digital cordless phone brings together 900 MHz digital technology, caller ID with call waiting, battery backup, memory dialing, and more. It offers high performance cordless features at an economical price.Before testing the V-Tech VT1922, we charged it for the recommended 16 hours. An additional handset battery (not included) can be charged in the base so you will always have a spare. The sturdy handset has an intuitive keypad and rubberized buttons that are comfortable to the touch. Separate buttons control answering and hanging up, which we found unnecessary. Other basic functions include memory, redial, mute, and hold. A handset locator button on the base allows you to find your handset from anywhere within hearing distance. Up to 20 numbers can be stored in memory. We were easily able to perform this function using the lighted, two-line LCD and the program button. To save a number, we simply entered it on the keypad and pressed the program button. The LCD asked us to choose a location and we entered a two-digit memory location (between 01 and 20) A pleasant tone confirmed our successful programming. Then to dial the number we simply pressed the memory button and entered the location number. If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting, these functions are also performed using the handset and LCD. Up to 50 names and numbers can be saved in caller ID memory. To view the information, press the CID button on the handset, and the LCD will display the most recent call received. Press and hold the 7 (clock) button to view the time and date of the call. Press the scroll arrows to view other calls. A delete button on the handset makes it easy to erase individual numbers, or you can hold the button for two seconds to delete the entire CID memory. The handset can be positioned faceup on the base for convenient caller identification. In our tests of the VT1922, we were able to use the handset up to 100 feet from the base. Between 100 and 500 feet, the static was somewhat disruptive, but we were still able to maintain conversation without losing transmission. Despite the adjustable antenna, we noticed some intermittent static at close range. However, when we used the handset outside and behind walls and doors, the signal remained strong. --Emily Bakko Pros: - Lighted two-line LCD
