Re: [H] Phone confusion

2009-11-20 Thread Gary
I was just surprised on how loud the ring is at full volume. I could sleep
thru my old phones but not this one.

 Gary,
 Can you explain ring volume? Handset batt-life is a plus. I've been
 doing some swap-batts with this 5.8 system.

  Greg,
  Ah! So the lower freq of DECT 6.0 sorta supports the range and
  clarity
  hype of these phones over my current 5.8GHz phone?
  So, you would be pro-DECT 6.0? Even though I suppose you have normal
 or
  high-tech cell technology :)

 better.

  Thinking about another new phone.
  Have a Panasonic kx-tg6071s, 5.8GHz, base +2 remotes.
  I like the speakerphone. I find the answer machine volume weak!
 
  I now notice DECT 6.0 phones. Odd too that I see these phones use
  1.9GHz
  bands (?).
 
  I chose 5.8GHz to get as far away as possible from all the WIFI
  bands. I
  wonder how DECT 6.0 phones work so close to WIFI bands?
 
  Advice welcome.. :)
  Best,
  Duncan

Gary,
LOL! Oh, now I get it! I can accept this. The last two 5.8GHz phones 
I've used have these wimpy, and, really strange(?) ringer sound 
selections

I am so used to the ringer quality of an old-time pay-phone booth!
I knowso old-school! LOL!
Bending toward a DECT 6.0 choice now.
Best,
Duncan

that's a relief. I thought 7 formatted before a clean install, but I 
guess it just deletes, or in this case moves. Thanks!


I think it maps out the space where the old stuff was,
works around it, and then integrates it into the new filesystem.
(That is quicker than moving Gigs of stuff.)

Use Windows Clean-up to get rid of it if you have any trouble.
Sometimes that is/was a protected location.

It's just a folder, I don't think it is protected or tied to 
anything. I just deleted it.
