all profile data. The public key is used to encrypt the data, allowing only the
person with the right key to make the data readable again.

landline connection and your Webtalker is connected to the base station and the

line. Please note that emergency calls can only be made when the base station is
connected to the power outlet and it is turned on. The phone cannot be used
during a power failure.

alker with me and
use it in another
country? Yes. Your Webtalker can be connected to the Internet anywhere with an active
Internet connection. The landline connection will also be working in other

my Webtalker? The maximum distance between the handset and the base station depends on
the environment you are working in. However, you should typically have a range
of some 50 metres indoors and 300 metres outdoors.
