Cordless models support up to four handsets, including one on the base and three remotes.
An innovative clear plastic M Series Standard faceplate module encapsulates the customizable paper faceplate to communicate a professional image in the room, and simplify faceplate maintenance and cleaning.
Patented OneTouch voicemail technology is also available on M Series Standard models. With a single touch of the blinking red voice mail key auto-dials the guest’s voicemail, and turns on the speakerphone. Guests hear their voice mail messages loud and clear hands-free over the telephone speaker, or via the handset for greater privacy. And because it is intuitive, and easy-to-use, guests no longer need to call the front desk for assistance with messages, but do utilize the guest service keys on the in-room telephones, which can generate increased telecom-related property revenues.

Fitch Ratings: US RevPAR Forecast Boosted to 7% on Stronger Occupancy.
Fitch Ratings - New York - 01 June 2015: Fitch Ratings has increased its 2015 US lodging industry RevPAR growth forecast to 7% from 6%, primarily reflecting the measure's YTD performance and moderately higher assumed employment growth. Year-to-date US RevPAR growth of 7.5% through April on stronger occupancy gains exceeded our expectations.
The outlook remains excellent for lodging fundamentals through the balance of the year as Fitch expects GDP growth to accelerate to 3.1% in 2015. Interest rates are still at or near historically low levels, consumer confidence and labor markets are improving, and hotel supply growth (although accelerating) remains muted.
However, select indicators that have traditionally turned down ahead of industry RevPAR softened during the latest three months. Examples include the index of leading US economic indicators (LEI), TTM US hotel occupancy rates and hotel REIT share prices. Although it is premature to conclude the cycle has peaked, these metrics bear watching - particularly given the stage of this upcycle.
Cumulative TTM RevPAR is up 43% through April from its February 2010 trough. This is above the 38% cumulative trough-to-peak change in the recovery that began in the early 2000s cycle, but below the 49% increase during the longer duration upcycle that began in the early 1990s. Real ADR is still roughly 2% below its prior cycle peak, but the greater mix of lower priced select service rooms in the US challenges comparability and likely understates the "real" real ADR recovery.
Fitch views the Hotel REIT selloff as the most concerning of the three indicators. Hotel REIT share prices are down roughly 7.5% YTD and are trading below their six-month average, which has traditionally been a good, though imperfect, early indicator of industry downturns. However, shares of most REIT property sectors have fallen since early January on interest rate concerns and non-REIT hotel company shares are generally up YTD. Although the LEI and occupancies have decelerated, their absolute values remain solidly positive.

Remember to order spares.
Have enough spare phones to prevent room vacancies and complaints? Make sure to stock plenty of clean, working Cetis hotel phones, and parts for repairs as well. Between normal wear and tear, spills, sticky keys, and frayed cords, stocking extra parts and phones for easy replacement will prevent a lot of hassle in the long run. We recommend stocking an extra 15% of phones for your guestrooms, plus additional cords and handsets for replacements.

Travel Tips
Make two copies of your passport, driver's license, credit cards, ATM cards and any other important documents you might be carrying. Leave one copy at home with someone you can reach in an emergency. Keep the other set with you in a safe place separate from the originals. Another option is to scan your documents into a computer as a PDF file and e-mail it to yourself, allowing you access to your documents from wherever you have an Internet connection.
