Thank you for purchasing a VTech cordless
telephone. This manual is designed to famil­
iarize you with your 917 ADX. To get the
maximum use from your new phone, we sug­
gest that you read this instruction Manual
before operating it.
Your VTech 917ADX\s a single line, 900
MHz, analog cordless phone with a Speaker­
phone and second keypad on the Base Unit.
Each time the Handset is placed in the Base
Unit, one of more than 65,000 Digital Security
Codes is randomly selected. The Handset
and Base Unit recognize each other based
upon this security code. This minimizes the
chance of another cordless phone accessing
your telephone line. The Base Unit retains
the current security code and channel in
memory, even if it is unpiugged.
Other special features are:
■ 10 Number Speed Dial Memory
