You'll forget you're wearing this cordless, hands-free headset phone until it rings, and then you can answer at the push of a button. Since the phone weighs less than 1 1/2 oz., you can leave it on for hours and never miss a call or have to stop what you're doing when talking. You can dial with the integrated keypad on the earpiece; an ???in-use??? light alerts others that you're engaged in conversation. Using the same 2.4 GHz technology of standard cordless telephones, ours has 40-channel autoscan for quick, clear reception up to 100' from the compact recharging base (plugs into a standard phone jack).
