ET-505 Cordless Telephone
(430-1008)                  Operation                 Faxback Doc. # 19434


CONFIRMATION AND ERROR TONES

When you press a button, the phone sounds a brief tone to indicate that it 
accepted the command.  If three error tones sound, you pressed a button in 
error, you are out of range, the battery is low or there is too much 
interference.  Move the handset closer to the base and try again, or 
recharge the battery.

MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL

For the best reception, fully extend the antenna on the base and position 
it vertically.

To make a call, pick up the handset or press TALK/HANG UP.  When you hear a
dial tone, dial the phone number.

To answer a call, pick up the handset.

When you are finished with the call, either press TALK/HANG UP or return 
the handset to the base to hang up.

CHANGING CHANNELS

A channel is the frequency the phone uses to communicate information 
between the handset and the base.  To reduce interference, you can change 
the channel the ET-505 is using.  You can select from 10 channels when you 
hear a dial tone or during a call.

To change channels, press CH.  The phone clicks once and beeps twice, and 
the TALK indicator on the handset blinks while the phone advances to the 
next channel.

Note:  If the battery is low or interference is severe, the handset might 
       lose communication with the base or you might hear three beeps 
       (error tone) when you press CH.  This does not happen often, but if 
       it does, return the handset to the cradle for about 5 seconds.

FLASH

Pressing FLASH sends the electronic equivalent of a switchhook signal.  Use
FLASH with special phone company services such as call waiting.

If you have call waiting, you can 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 any special phone services, pressing FLASH might 
     disconnect the current call.

     Do not press FLASH to hang up the phone.

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

USING PRIVACY

Press and hold down PRIVACY/PAUSE during a call to talk to someone else in 
the room without the person on the other end of the phone hearing your 
conversation.  Release PRIVACY/PAUSE to resume your phone conversation.

USING REDIAL

Pressing REDIAL quickly redials the last number dialed.  When you hear a 
dial tone, simply press REDIAL.

Notes:

     The redial memory holds up to 16 digits, so you can redial 
     long-distance as well as local phone numbers.

     The redial memory also holds PAUSE entries.  See "Storing a Pause."

     When you redial a phone number that includes a FLASH entry, the phone 
     only redials the numbers before FLASH.  For example, if you dial 
     1 2 3 4 FLASH 5 6 7, pressing REDIAL only redials 1 2 3 4.

USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE

Some special services (such as electronic banking, calling cards, telephone
answering equipment, etc.) require tone signals.  If you have pulse service,
you can still use these special tone services.

Follow these steps to use tone services on a pulse line.

1.  Be sure MODE (TONE/PULSE) is set to PULSE.

2.  Pick up the handset or press TALK/HANG UP and listen for a dial tone.

3.  When you hear a dial tone, dial the number of the special service.

4.  When the service answers, press TONE.  Any additional numbers you dial 
    produce tone signals.

5.  Follow the special service's dialing procedure.

After you hang up, the phone returns to the pulse mode, since MODE 
(PULSE/TONE) is still set to PULSE.

PAGING THE HANDSET

You can page the handset by pressing PAGE on the base.  The handset sounds 
ring tones for about 2 seconds when you page it.  This helps you locate the
handset if you left it in another room, or signals another person to return
the handset to the base.

Note:  Paging the handset does not disconnect a call.

MEMORY DIALING

You can store up to three different phone numbers of up to 16 digits each 
so you can dial them quickly.

Storing Phone Numbers in Memory

Follow these steps to store phone numbers in memory.

1.  Pick up the handset.

2.  Be sure MODE (PULSE/TONE) is set for the type of service you have.

3.  If you hear a dial tone, press TALK/HANG UP until the TALK/HANG UP 
    indicator turns off.

4.  Press STORE.  A click and two tones sound.

    Note:  The STORE button is recessed to help prevent you from 
           accidentally pressing it.

5.  Enter the phone number you want to store, including any PRIVACY/PAUSE 
    and TONE entries (see "Storing a Pause" and "Using Tone Services on a 
    Pulse Line").

    Note:  Each PRIVACY/PAUSE or TONE entry uses 1 digit of memory.

6.  Press MEMORY.

7.  Press 1, 2, or 3 on the keypad.  The number key you press is the memory
    location number for the phone number you are storing.

    Two tones sound to confirm that the number is stored.

8.  Hang up the phone.

Notes:

     If you receive a call while you are storing a number in memory, press 
     TALK/HANG UP to answer the call.  After the call, begin again at Step 
     2 to store the number.

     To keep a record of each stored number, peel back the plastic covering
     on top of the handset, then write the person's or company's name next 
     to the appropriate memory location number on the MEMORY directory.  
     Use a pencil in case you want to change it later.

     To change a number you already stored, store a new one in its place.

     To delete a number from memory, repeat the steps in "Storing Phone 
     Numbers in Memory," but do not enter a phone number in Step 5.

Important:  When you test a stored number of an emergency service (such as 
            a police department, fire department, or ambulance service), 
            make the test call in the off-peak hours, such as late evening 
            or early morning, and remain on the line to explain the reason 
            for your call.

Storing a Pause

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.

To store a 2-second pause, press PRIVACY/PAUSE at the appropriate point
when you store a number in memory.  For a longer pause, press PRIVACY/PAUSE
additional times.

Dialing a Stored Number

Follow these steps to dial a stored number.

1.  Lift the handset or press TALK/HANG UP and listen for a dial tone.

2.  When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY.

3.  Press the number key (1-3) for the memory location that contains the 
    number you want to call.  The phone dials the number.

Chain-Dialing from Memory

You can store the phone number of a special service (such as alternate 
long-distance or bank-by-phone), in one memory location and store 
additional information, such as the long-distance number, in another memory
location.

To memory-dial a special service, press MEMORY and the memory-location 
number for the service's main number.  When the service answers, press 
MEMORY and the memory-location number for the additional information.

Notes:

     If you have pulse service, be sure you store a TONE entry at the end 
     of the service's main number.

     To prevent unauthorized access to the special service, we recommend 
     that you do not store a personal identification number in memory.
