A digital cordless phone converts your conversation into 1's and 0's when transmitting back to the base unit. This provides better security, but analog transmissions may have better sound quality since they do not go through a conversion process.

Yes, Digital Spread Spectrum converts the analog signal into 1's and 0's before transmitting and then uses multiple frequencies to send the signal, where as digital only converts the analog signal into 1's and 0's. As a result, you will receive better clarity, security, and effective range with DSS.

Gigahertz phones operate on a higher frequency and offer even more clarity and security in your telephone conversation than a 900MHz phone. However, the range is the same.

The average life of a battery is one year.

If your phone does not seem to be charging properly on base cradle, check to see if the charging terminal (located on base unit) and the charging contacts (located on bottom of handset) are dirty. The charging contacts can be cleaned with a dry cloth or pencil eraser, see your unit's owners manual for proper cleaning instructions.

Each Owner's Manual includes a "Troubleshooting" page. This page gives examples of why your unit may not be performing to your expectations, and the information is usually located towards the back of the owners manual. The Troubleshooting page can be very helpful when trying to resolve simple problems with your cordless phone.
