SN-920 ULTRA

(NOTE: This phone is from EnGenius Technologies, Inc., not Panasonic.)
Second-generation LONG-RANGE CHAMP!
2002: NEW IMPROVED VERSION:
(1) Two year warranty, not just one year
(2) Louder audio transmit and receive
(3) Better SNR: less noise, more range
(4) Adaptive Frequency Hopping: skips noisy channels
EnGenius Technologies, maker of the most powerful cordless phones that can legally be used in the United States, has introduced its second generation SN920 "Ultra" phone, with more power, more features and smaller size than the first generation SN900.
We also have the new EnGenius EP-436 4-line system -- much better for multi-line use. Has auto-attendant & text messaging. Headsets work without adapters. Call forwarding. Call logs. Much more. CLICK
+ MORE POWER: (900mW vs. 630mW in SN-900)
+ SMALLER HANDSET (40% smaller than SN-900)
+ LIGHTER HANDSET (just 8.8 ounces with battery)
+ NEW BATTERY (NiMH, not NiCd) + 40 hour standby
+ Can use a HEADSET + Music-on-hold jack in base
+ Key guard + Call timer + Rugged metal housing
+ Easier access to directory + Recharge in 80 mins.
+ Display shows 4 lines of text & graphics, not 3
+ Compatible with first-generation SN-900
+You can use up to nine long range cordless handsets with each base, and up to four bases in a system -- for a total of 36 handsets. Any handset can call any other on intercom. Calls can be transferred from one handset to another.

+An inexpensive adapter allows you to connect any headset with a standard 2.5mm plug. Put your EnGenius handset in your pocket or on your belt, and work or walk while you talk, hands-free.


+Optional external 6dB-gain antenna can go on a rooftop or a tower, for maximum range. It comes with a 65' low-loss coaxial cable to connect to your EnGenius phone base.
What's it all about?
  • Range can be over eight miles in open terrain and 12 floors within a building (independent testing lab). 
  • Range in a typical suburban environment is usually 2 miles or more (AbleComm test).
  • The standard phone package (SN920-1) is a 3-piece system. You get a base that plugs into an electrical outlet and a phone jack, plus a portable handset, and a charger stand for the handset.
  • The charger stand can go almost anywhere, because it needs just electrical power, but no phone jack. You can put it in a room or a building with no phone wiring! It takes up as much space as a coffee mug on your desk.
  • Up to 36 handsets can be used with up to 4 base units.
  • Optional external antenna provides maximum range.
  • Handsets can communicate with each other privately, independent of base and phone line. When used as two-way radios, operation is "full-duplex" like a phone -- no need to push a button to talk.
  • Phone calls can be transferred from one handset to another.
  • Each handset comes with one NiMH battery pack. You can order another if you want. One charger stand can charge a battery inside a phone, plus a separate battery. You can change batteries while a call is on hold. Power Management feature regulates output power to save batteries when maximum range is not needed.
  • Talk time is up to 3 hours, and recharging time just 80 minutes. Standby time is up to 40 hours. 
  • The use of multiple base units can permit a group of handsets to be used in a large area, and allows multiple lines to be shared by a group of phones.
  • Bases can be connected directly to phone company dial tone, or to any phone system that can accept single-line analog phones.
  • If bases are connected to a PBX or "hybrid" phone system, users can dial 9 to get any line available.
  • Panasonic phone systems allow you to select specific lines from an EnGenius handset, and to retrieve calls put on hold by a Panasonic phone.
  • Radio transmission is Digital Spread Spectrum/Frequency Hopping, with frequency changing 200 times per second for extremely high security against eavesdropping.
  • Four lines of text and graphics are shown on illuminated handset display.
  • Phone has Caller ID with Call Waiting. Log shows last 30 calls received.
  • Graphical signal strength indicator on display, with audible warning when you're about to leave communications range.
  • Each handset comes with a small antenna for convenience, and a long antenna for maximum range.
  • Hearing Aid compatible
  • 30-Name/Number speed dialing
  • 6-Level voice volume control
  • Four different ringing sounds with three different volume levels, plus silent vibration alert.
  • Handset weighs just 8.8 ounces with battery 
  • Approved for both US and Canada
  • CLICK for one comparison test in a hostile environment
