Incoming calls memory
The number of recent incoming calls that can be stored in the phone's memory at one time. Phones with
digital Caller ID or
analog Caller ID have this feature (see the corresponding paragraphs of the glossary). Sometimes it allows you to track missed calls; in addition, a simplified dialing procedure for a number stored in the phone's memory can be provided — just select it and press the call button.
Outgoing calls memory
The amount of recent outgoing calls that can be stored in the phone's memory at one time. The presence of a log of outgoing calls allows you to control which numbers were called from this phone, as well as use the re-dial function (re-dial), which eliminates the need to manually dial the number again — usually just select the corresponding number in the list and press the call button.
Alarm clock
Alarm clock feature of the phone: at the time specified by the user, the device beeps, which allows, for example, to wake up on time.
Standby time
The maximum operating time of the handset on one full battery charge, without contact with the base, in standby mode, that is, when no actions are taken with the handset. Note that at the end of the maximum time in standby mode, the battery charge may be so small that when a call arrives, the handset may simply not be able to support it for any long time. Therefore, without a serious need, you should not keep the handset out of the base for long, and it is better to return it for recharge in advance.
Talk Time
The maximum time of operation of the handset on one full charge of the battery in talk mode. Long talk time will be relevant for those who expect to regularly conduct long telephone conversations.
Emergency power
A feature that allows you to use the radiotelephone even in the event of a power failure to the base: in emergency power mode, the base receives power from the handset battery. To do this, you need to install the handset on the device and talk through the speakerphone. Of course, this mode limits mobility, but anyway it is preferable to a complete lack of communication. In addition, if there are additional handsets registered to this base, they can be used for a normal conversation. And the most advanced models with an emergency power feature are able to remain operational even if a failure occurs right in the middle of a conversation: the base has a power reserve for a short time (about a minute), which allows you to install a handset on it and transfer the device to emergency power without interrupting the conversation.
