"We are pleased to have Zenith as a marketing partner. We feel that retailers and consumers will benefit from both Zenith's quality reputation and the power of the Zenith brand name," said Randy Mansfield, vice president of sales for Phonex. "This agreement will improve the availability of the EZ Hang-Up and EZ Hold telephone accessories, making them more accessible to a broader consumer base."

Commenting on the agreement, Len Coakley, vice president of accessories at Zenith Sales Company said "EZ Hang-Up and EZ Hold are terrific products that enhance Zenith's accessories offerings, giving retailers new business opportunities and consumers great features and value. EZ Hang-Up is particularly compelling in light of growing consumer concerns about annoying telemarketing calls, and initial reaction from Zenith retailers has been phenomenal."

EZ Hang-Up is a convenient and inexpensive telephone accessory which with the push of a button, politely and easily terminates annoying telemarketing calls and warns telesolicitors not to call back. EZ Hang-Up has been steadily gaining popularity with consumers seeking relief from the frustration of unwanted calls, and its continued acceptance by mass retailers and drug and grocery store chains throughout the U.S. marks the demand by consumers for low-cost, effective methods of combating the telemarketing problem.

EZ Hold With Music is an inexpensive on-hold music device which lets consumers place a call on hold with the push of a button. It blocks out background noise of busy families, offering a simple, yet professional way to manage home or home office telephone calls. Unlike other on-hold music systems, EZ Hold With Music does not require installation of additional radio, CD players, or stereo equipment, and is phone line-powered so it does not need batteries.

Adding Phonex Easy Phone Accessories complements Zenith's alliance with Woods Industries, which leverages combined sourcing, marketing, and product development resources. Both Zenith and Woods displayed the Phonex line of Easy Phone Accessories at the 1999 Consumer Electronics Show, beginning a targeted marketing program to introduce the inexpensive phone accessories to their broad base of dealers in the consumer electronics, home improvement, food and drug, and home office/small office channels.

Along with products in the Easy Phone Accessories line, Phonex is also the manufacturer of the original Wireless Phone Jack technology, wireless modem jacks, wireless Web jacks, wireless speakers, and international 220 volt wireless phone jacks, using its patented wireless technology.
