The Siemens 242 is a single-line, caller ID-equipped phone that operates on the 2.4 GHz band. Its 2.4 GHz technology ensures a clearer cordless transmission without static or interference from other cordless phones operating at crowded lower frequencies. Digital spread spectrum technology provides optimum security from eavesdropping by "hopping" frequencies more than 100 times every second.The Siemens 242 features built-in caller ID/call waiting ID capability and features a three-line LCD display. This LCD also displays up to 30 calls and provides both redial and the time of the call. The display can also show information in English, French, or Spanish.
The Siemens 242 features 10 programmable speed-dial numbers, a choice of four ring tones, base-to-handset paging, ringer and receiver volume controls, two-way charging positions, out-of-range alert, and more. An internal antenna protects the phone against accidental damage. The Siemens 242 comes with a lightweight cordless handset, a base with a built-in charger, a battery pack, a user's manual, and a belt clip. Siemens offers a one-year warranty on this phone.
