Bring all your home phone needs together in one compact and powerful unitwith the Uniden TRU248 2.4-GHz cordless phone. In the world of cordlessphones, higher is better when it comes to frequency. With 2.4 GHz digitalspread spectrum transmission, the Uniden TRU248 offers superior power,security and clarity--plus a digital answering system and caller ID/callwaiting capability.

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 TRU248 arange of up to 150 feet indoors.

In addition to 2.4 GHz power, the TRU248 offers digital spread spectrumtechnology 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.

The Uniden TRU248's answering system is built into the phone's base unit,so there's no need to clear extra space on your counter or desk for aseparate machine. Record your own greeting or use the pre-recorded greetingincluded with the phone. The answering system can be set to announce only,and operated from a remote location with a four-digit code.

Play all of your messages at once, or skip through to the desired message.You can also repeat and delete specific messages.
