Beaverton, Ore. – VTech Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VTech Holdings Ltd. (HKSE: 303; ADR: VTKHY) and the largest U.S. cordless phone manufacturer, today announced the new spring lineup is now available at retail and online. For consumers looking to enjoy the landline benefits of superior call quality, range and reception, VTech’s newest digital cordless phones include the industry’s first Push-to-Talk system, the LS6325.
LS6325 Series: Freedom and Functionality
VTech’s LS6325 series is designed around today’s busy households to provide maximum efficiency. Priced under US$100, the LS6325 cordless phones feature Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality, which allows instant communication to any room in the house- for example, acting as a “digital dinner bell.” Ideal for families or small office users, the push-to-talk feature acts as virtual walkie-talkie using the handset speakerphone, eliminating shouting through the house at family members and adding professionalism and speedier communication to small offices.
With the LS6325, users can roam throughout the house or office – within up to 1,500 feet of the base station– without fear of losing or dropping a connection. From the “hands-free” speaker phone to the backlit LCD for easy viewing, the sleek DECT 6.0 system offers a smart, practical design. The LS6325 also features the option to expand up to five handsets (using the LS6305 accessory handset, sold separately for US$19.95).
“In a fast-paced world where we are bombarded with rapid-fire demands, this phone system can help make the most of our time at home or in the office,” said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, product management, VTech Communications, Inc. “The LS6325 series is ideal for consumers who need a quality phone system, reliable reception and the ability to easily communicate with other people in the household.”
Featured in two different product bundles, the three-handset LS6325-3 (MSRP: US$79.95) and four-handset LS6325-4 (MSRP: US$89.95) are available now at retail outlets and online at www.vtechphones.com.
CS Series: Affordable Upgrades
It is now more affordable than ever to upgrade older landlines to the latest interference-free DECT 6.0 technology with VTech’s new CS6319 and CS6329 phones. With a variety of bundled options, consumers can select the feature-rich set that fits their needs. All priced under US$60, VTech’s new CS phones offer the option to expand to up to five handsets.
VTech’s environmentally friendly 2010 DECT cordless phones feature energy-efficient 7-day, 7-hour battery performance and are ENERGY STAR® certified and RoHS compliant. VTech phone packaging also incorporates 100-percent recyclable materials with FDA-approved aqueous coating that eliminates hazardous chemicals.
