Description:
AT&T's 9400 telephone offers cordless convenience. And with the 900 MHz frequency band and digital spread spectrum (DSS) technology, you also get great range, clarity, and privacy. Setting up the phone for basic operation was easy--we just inserted the battery pack, plugged in the AC adapter/recharger, and connected the phone cable to a standard RJ-11 jack. We recommend that you allow the battery pack to charge for an uninterrupted 12 hours before using the phone. You control the features through the base unit's two front-mounted buttons and two side-mounted switches; the handset has eight buttons and one switch in addition to the usual 0 through 9, #, and * buttons. Using the features is straightforward and very easy, but you may need to consult the manual to learn the more advanced features, such as storing and editing numbers for memory dialing. We were surprised to see that this phone has a page/intercom feature, not just a handset locator. It was unclear to us why the AT&T 9400 has the speaker and microphone in the base unit, but doesn't include speakerphone functions. Still, with its well-chosen suite of features and its DSS technology for clear sound, greater range, and better security, this is a nice cordless phone for home or the office. Pros
- DSS for clearer sound and longer range
- Long battery life
- Easy to set up and use
Cons
- Has intercom but no speakerphone functions
