Description:
The Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone GH2405 cordless offers state-of-the-art digital spread-spectrum (DSS) cordless technology plus 2.4 GHz range and power. With its stylish, metallic look and convenient features, this phone is an affordable introduction to 2.4 GHz DSS cordless technology.This Southwestern Bell cordless takes advantage of the higher-frequency 2.4 GHz range of the FM radio spectrum, opened to cordless phones only in 1998. The GH2405 is basically an FM transmitter/receiver using shorter wavelengths, so radio waves encounter less interference. The 2.4 GHz range is also far above the range accessible to most scanners, so there's less risk of eavesdropping. When you add DSS technology to a 2.4 GHz cordless, you get the best security and clarity currently available. Based in part on a concept invented by 1940s screen actress Hedy Lamarr, spread-spectrum transmission switches rapidly from frequency to frequency at random. A DSS signal needs less power and encounters less interference. The GH2405's auto-scan feature automatically switches between 40 channels in the 2.4 GHz range to find the best signal. Other useful phone features include a 20-number memory for frequently dialed numbers. Last-number redial allows you to call back the number you just dialed with one touch of a button. An LED indicator tells you when the phone is in use or charging, and electronic volume and ringer controls allow you to adjust the sound level to your liking. The Southwestern Bell GH2405 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 as you walk around the house. Press a button on the base to locate the handset anywhere within range.
