Product Description
Amazon.com Product 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.

Sleek but Noisy,

This review is from: Uniden TRU246 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Phone (Office Product)
The Uniden TRU246 is the latest in their series of 2.4GHz phones. It offers true 2.4GHz DSS transmission from both base and handset, which gives great security and range. I was able to walk halfway down my block with no interruption in signal. The lighted keypad, sleek design and silver finish give it a cool look. Unfortunately, there is significant background noise with this model. With my EXA950, a 900 MHz model, the sound is impeccable, there is absolutely no background noise. I called Uniden and they said a certain amount of noise is "normal", varies by model and is greater in the 2.4 GHz models. I find the noise unnacceptable, I am very dissapointed because the other features of this phone are so nice. You may want to stick with a 900 MHz model until they get this bug out.

This Is a Great Phone!,

This review is from: Uniden TRU246 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Phone (Office Product)
I have owned and used a Uniden TRU246 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone for about seven months now, and I truly love it! The sound is so clear and static-free, you forget you're talking on a cordless phone. It also has an incredibly long range. I carry the phone all around outside my house, and the sound quality is just as good as if you were talking on a corded phone. It even has a clear sound from all the way across the street. I love the built-in Caller ID, which is also compatible with Call Waiting Caller ID. The display also shows other things, such as a list of the numbers and/or names you have programmed into memory, and options such as whether to turn Call Waiting Caller ID or Auto Answer on or off. These features on the display make using the phone virtually mistake-proof. Another plus to the phone is that it stands up. This is a very convenient phone for carrying outside or all over the house with you, because it has an unbelievably far range, and because it has Caller ID display in the handset, so you know who is calling and can answer the phone no matter where you are. If anyone were shopping for a cordless phone, this Uniden TRU246 would be my first recommendation.
