INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market!
Ameritech AM 1930 has been de-
signed to offer a new standard in
cordless telephone technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
Ameritech AM 1930 digitizes your
voice using advanced ADPCM digital
voice coding to provide noise- and
distortion-free performance. In most
conditions, you will not be able to tell
you are using a cordless phone. Gone
are the annoyances of static, interfer-
ence and having to listen to other
people's conversations on your cord-
less phone.
The Ameritech AM 1930 scrambles
your voice before it transmits it. This
allows you the security of knowing that
no one can tune in and eavesdrop on
your conversations.
The Ameritech AM 1930 decodes and
displays name and/or number Caller ID
information where available and when
subscribed to. The alpha-numeric
display can show both the name and
number of the calling party. Up to 24
name characters or 11 phone number
digits can be displayed.
With the Ameritech AM 1930, the user
can easily answer a call by pressing
any key other than the OFF, MUTE or
VOLUME Keys. In addition, the handset
keypad and display illuminate while the
handset rings to signal an incoming
call. This is very useful in a dark
environment.
AM 1930
The Ameritech AM 1930 also provides
a two-way Intercom/Handset locator
The
function.
The Ameritech AM 1930 uses special
memory in both the base and handset
which is not susceptible to power
failures. This provides permanent
storage of all memory dial numbers,
Caller ID information, and the base and
handset security codes.
When an optional battery pack is
installed in the base unit, the Ameritech
AM 1930 uses this battery pack to
provide operational backup in case of
power failure. In this way you have
access to Handset functions during a
total power outage. Calls can still be
placed and received on the Handset
without interruption. Up to 5 hours
backup will be possible with a fully
charged battery pack in the base unit.
The Ameritech AM 1930 informs you
when another extension is currently
in use on the same phone line. The
phone will also alert you when you are
Out of Range, even when you're not
using the phone!
There are two dedicated Billed Services
keys on the handset for your
convenience. When pressed, these
keys will automatically dial the
appropriate keys for REPEAT DIALING,
or
69 AUTO CALLBACK. There may
*
be an access charge for these services.
Contact your local telephone company
for more details.
