Description:

Screen your calls and take advantage of power of 2.4 GHz technology at the same time with the Uniden TRU246 cordless phone. In the world ofcordless phones, higher is better when it comes to frequency. With 2.4 GHzdigital spread spectrum transmission, the Uniden TRU246 offers superiorpower, security, and clarity.

Forget about the short-range, static-plagued cordless phones of the past.Basically a low-powered FM radio transmitter/receiver, cordless phonestoday use higher frequencies with shorter wavelengths so radio wavesencounter less interference. In 1998, the FCC opened up the FM range above2.4 GHz to cordless phones. This frequency is far above the rangeaccessible to most scanners, and gives phones like the Uniden TRU246 arange of up to 150 feet indoors.

In addition to 2.4 GHz power, the TRU246 offers digital spread spectrum(DSS) technology for security and greater sound clarity. Based in part on aconcept invented by 1940s screen actress Hedy Lamarr, spread spectrumtransmission switches rapidly from frequency to frequency at random. A DSSsignal needs less power and encounters less interference.

A cordless phone like the Uniden TRU246 is even more useful with caller IDand call waiting/caller ID. Order this service through your local phonecompany, and the phone allows you screen calls even as you talk on thephone. When someone calls, caller ID allows you to view the caller's nameand number on the LCD display before you pick up the phone. The caller-IDmemory holds up to 50 names and numbers. Caller ID/call waiting allows youto view call information on an incoming call while you're on anothercall.

With the Uniden TRU246, you can program up to 20 numbers into the memorydial, similar to a speed dial, for instant access. The AutoTalk featurelets you answer a call just by picking up the handset--no need to fumblefor the "talk" button. Hang up simply by placing the handset in the basewith the AutoStandby feature.

The phone handset's batteries last for up to six hours of talk time and 10days on standby. The Uniden TRU246 comes with a rechargeable battery pack,AC adapter for the base unit, wall mount, and belt clip.
