　　Does your cordless phone crackle(劈啪响), fade, or go dead when you move only a few feet from the base? If so, we recommend that you try a Techtalk Cordless phone.

　　Techtalk cordless phones are the only ones with the patented Cellular 6 technology. The result is a phone with excellent clarity, range, and security.

　　Clarity: It's essential that you communicate efficiently and effectively. No static(静电), echo, or cracking will ever interfere(干扰) with your conversations on a Techtalk phone.

　　Range: Techtalk provides up to four times the range of an ordinary cordless phone. It will go anywhere you need itthroughout your home, in your yard, even around the block.

　　Security: Some cordless phones allow other cordless phone users to overhear(偷听) your conversations. Not Techtalk. We guarantee (保证) complete privacy whenever you talk to your friends, family, or business associates.

　　You decide an ordinary cordless phone or Techtalk? Visit your favorite electronics store this month and take a Techtalk home for a 30-day trial. If you don't agree that it's superior to all other cordless phones, return it for a full refund.
