inspiration to one of your team for immediate action. Furthermore, your main-
tenance engineers on the roof checking out a problem with the air conditioning
see a small flame coming from one of the fan motors. They can call the fire
department immediately and not waste time running down the stairs to find a
telephone.
A digital muti-cell cordless telephone technology gives you all those new
freedoms around the office. You have more fun and less hassle. Life is a little
easier knowing you can pick up your telephone anywhere to make a call or
answer one. That and much more is possible with a DECT or PWT digital
cordless office system. Of course, cell phones can give you those freedoms if the
in-building coverage is good enough, but often it isn’t. Then there is the cost.
Why should you pay air-time charges for office telephone conversations?
The primary raison d’etre for the new digital cordless systems is to free
you around the office from the tyranny of telephones that are attached to a
place. Why would someone want to phone your office—wouldn’t they rather
phone you? If you spend your time doing things outside your office, discussing
new ideas with colleagues in their offices, or walking the job with your people,
then a DECT or PWT telephone is for you. You can’t do those things confined
to your desk.
Of course, with freedom comes the need for a little discipline. You have
to get into the habit of turning off the ringer during meetings. It is easy to for-
get that the phone is in your pocket. Because the natural instinct is to answer a
ringing telephone, you must just say “sorry” to yourself and turn it off. After all,
if you didn’t have the pocket telephone, the phone on your desk would just
ring until answered by your secretary or your voice mail, and you never would
have heard it anyway while you were in the meeting.
So you should not worry about not answering the machine. Take it easy.
Just because you can answer does not mean you must. There are, after all, places
you visit every day where it would be unthinkable to converse with someone by
phone. Thus, you learn to be considerate and relaxed enough to turn off the
ringer while you are in a meeting. Your phone does have a short message serv-
ice, so if a call really is important enough to drag you out of a meeting, your
secretary can send a silent message to your unit’s display. If the situation is criti-
cal, you can make your excuses quietly and leave.
A famous 1876 Western Union memo stated “this ‘telephone’ has too
many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.
The device is inherently of no value to us.” In spite of that prediction, the tele-
phone has changed our business and private lives for the better. The cell phone
has revolutionized our business lives while we are on the road, and the new gen-
eration of cordless telephones is now about to make us less bound to our offices
and better able to do our jobs with relaxed effectiveness.
