ET-531 10-Channel Cordless Telephone
(430-1031)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 18676

Before using your cordless telephone, you must install and charge its
battery (see "Installing the Battery" and "Charging the Battery"),.  For
the best operation, make sure the base's antenna is fully extended.

MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL

You can use your cordless telephone in two ways: at the base or away from
the base.

Using the Handset at the Base

You can use the handset at the base like a regular corded telephone. Place 
the handset in the cradle.  The base rings whether RINGER ON/OFF on the 
handset is set to ON or OFF.

To answer a call, just lift the handset from the base.

To make a call, lift the handset from the base and press TALK so the IN USE
indicator lights.

To disconnect a call, replace the handset on the base.

Using the Handset Away from the Base

To use the handset away from the base, press TALK to make or answer a call.
The IN USE indicator on the handset lights.

To disconnect a call, press TALK so the IN USE indicator on the handset
turns off.

NOTES:  Press TALK so the IN USE indicator turns off when you are not
        making or answering a call, to conserve battery power and leave the
        phone line available.

        You can make or answer a call on another phone on the same phone
        line, even if the handset is away from the base.

REDUCING INTERFERENCE

To reduce interference between the handset and the base, press CHANNEL to
switch to the next channel (10 in all ) until you receive the best
reception.

REDIAL

To quickly redial the last number dialed, simply lift the handset from the
cradle or press TALK so the IN USE indicator lights.  Then press REDIAL.

Note:  We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a TONE
entry (see "Using Tone Services with a Service Number", see below).

USING FLASH

Use FLASH on the handset to perform the switchhook operation for special
services, such as call waiting.

For example, if you have call waiting, press FLASH to take an incoming call
without disconnecting the current call.  Press FLASH again to return to the
first call.

NOTES:  If you do not have a special phone service, pressing FLASH might
        disconnect the current call.

        The redial memory does not store a FLASH entry or any digits
        entered after you press FLASH.

USING TONE SERVICES WITH A SERVICE NUMBER

Some special services, such as bank by phone, require tone signals.  If you
have pulse service, you can still use these special tone services by
following these steps.

1.  Set TONE/PULSE on the base to PULSE.

2.  Dial the service's main number.

3.  When the service answers, press (*). Then dial the additional numbers.
    The phone sends these numbers as tone signals.

4.  When you complete the call, place the handset on the cradle or press
    TALK to disconnect the call.  The phone automatically resets to the
    pulse mode.

NOTE:  We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a TONE
       entry.

USING PAGE

PAGE lets you locate the handset if you misplaced it, or alert the person
holding the handset.  The handset sounds four beeps when someone presses
PAGE on the base.  The IN USE indicator and the selected channel appear on
the base's display.

NOTE:  The handset will not beep during a call, or if the ringer is off.

MEMORY DIALING

You can store up to 10 phone numbers for single-button dialing. Each stored
number can be up to 16 digits long.

NOTES:  If TONE/PULSE is set to PULSE and you want to use tone dialing for
        a memory number, you must store the tone entry (*) along with the
        number.

        To keep you accounts secure, we recommend you not store your
        personal access code for services such as bank-by-phone in a memory
        location.

Storing a Number in Memory

1.  If necessary, press TALK on the handset so the IN USE indicator turns
    off.

2.  Press MEMORY.

    NOTE:  While you are storing a number in memory, if you do not press
           any button within 10 seconds, you must repeat Step 2 and try
           again.

3.  Dial the number you want to store.

4.  Press MEMORY again.

5.  Press the memory location number (0 to 9) where you want to store the
    number.  A long beep sounds. The phone number is now stored in memory.

6.  Remove the plastic covering from the handset's index card with a small
    pointed object, such as the end of a straightened paper clip.  Write
    the person's or company's name and memory location number on the card
    in pencil (in case you want to change it later).

7.  Repeat Steps 2-6 to store and record other telephone numbers.

NOTES:  If you receive a call while you are storing a number in memory,
        press TALK to answer the call.  After the call, begin again at Step
        1 to store the number.

        To change a phone number stored in memory, simply store a new phone
        number in that position.

        To clear a memory position so no number is stored in it, press
        MEMORY twice, then press the memory location number. A long beep
        sounds. The phone number is now cleared from memory.

NOTE:  A fast beeping pattern indicates that your clearing was
       unsuccessful.  Try the process again.

Entering a Pause in a Memory Number

In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example)
and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number.  If
your phone is connected to one of these systems. You might want to enter a
pause at the appropriate point when you store a phone number in memory.

When storing a number, press PAUSE to enter a 3-second pause.  For a longer
pause, press PAUSE again (each press enters a 3-second pause).

Dialing a Stored Number

Follow these steps to dial a number stored in memory.

    Lift the handset from the cradle and press TALK so the IN USE
    indicator lights.

    When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY and then press the memory
    location number where the phone number is stored.  The phone dials
    the stored number.

Chain Dialing Service Numbers

When calling special services (such as alternate long distance or bank by
phone), dial the service's main number first.  Then, at the appropriate
place in the call, press MEMORY and the number for the location where the
additional information is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service's number (police department, fire
department, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored number, make the
test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak
demand periods.  Also, remain on the line to explain the reason for your
call.
