Making And Receiving Calls
To make or answer a call, lift the handset from the cradle and press the
handset's TALK button. Or, if the handset is away from the cradle, simply
press TALK. The TALK/BATT LOW indicator lights.
To end a call, place the handset on the cradle or press the handset's TALK
button until its indicator turns off.
Note: When you press TALK to hang up the phone, you might get an error
tone and the phone might not disconnect. If this happens, place
the handset on the cradle or press TALK again while holding the
handset closer to the base.
Selecting The Channel
Your telephone can communicate between the base and the handset on any of
25 channels. If you hear other conversations or excessive noise during a
call, press CHANNEL on the handset to select a different channel. You
hear a click, then a brief pause as your phone searches for a clear
channel.
Note: If the handset is too far from the base, the channel might not
change. Move closer to the base.
Using Redial
Redial lets you quickly dial the last number dialed. When you hear a dial
tone, simply press REDIAL.
Notes: The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long
distance as well as local numbers.
The redial memory also holds PAUSE entries. See "Entering a
Pause" under "Memory Dialing".
The redial memory does not store a FLASH entry or any digits
you press after FLASH.
Using Flash
FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation for
special services, such as call waiting.
For example, if you have call waiting, press FLASH to answer an incoming
all without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to return
to the first call.
Note: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH
might disconnect the current call.
Using Tone Services On A Pulse Line
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. Be sure TONE/PULSE is set to PULSE.
2. Dial the service's main number.
3. When the service answers, press TONE. Then dial the additional
numbers. The phone uses touch tone dialing to dial these numbers.
4. After you complete the call, return the handset to the cradle or press
TALK. The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode.
Paging
To page the person who has the handset or to locate the handset when the
phone is not in use, press PAGE on the base. The handset beeps five
times.
Note: The handset does not beep when the ringer is off.
Memory Dialing
This phone has three priority dialing memories. You can dial a number
stored in any of these memories by pressing a single button. In addition,
you can store up to 10 telephone numbers in speed-dial memory, then dial a
stored number by pressing a one-digit memory-location number.
Note: Each number you store can be up to 16 digits long.
Storing A Number In Memory
Note: An error tone sounds and the phone exits the programming mode if
you wait more than 20 seconds between each keypress.
1. Lift the handset and press MEMO. The TALK/BATT LOW indicator blinks.
2. Enter the number and any TONE and PAUSE entries. See "Storing a
Tone Entry on a Pulse Line" and "Entering a Pause".
Note: Each TONE or PAUSE entry uses one digit of memory.
3. If you want to store the number in priority dialing memory, press
MEMO, then press a priority dialing button (P1-P3).
If you want to store the number in a speed-dial memory, press MEMO,
then enter the memory location number (0-9).
A tone sounds to indicate that the number is stored.
4. To store more numbers, repeat Steps 1-3.
5. For each stored number, write the person's or company's name next to
the appropriate location number on the supplied MEMORY directory
sticker. Use a pencil in case you need to change the number later.
Attach the sticker to the phone.
Note: To erase a number previously stored, simply store a new number in
its place. Or, lift the handset and press MEMO twice, then press
the priority dialing button or the speed-dial memory location
number (0-9) you want to clear. A tone sounds.
Storing A Tone Entry With A Memory Number
If your phone is set for pulse dialing, you can store a tone entry so you
can easily access special services that require tone signals.
1. Lift the handset and press MEMO. The TALK/BATT LOW indicator blinks.
2. Enter the phone number for the service you want to call.
3. Press TONE.
4. Enter the next number (the one that should be sent as tone signals).
5. Press MEMO, then press the desired priority dialing button (P1, P2, or
P3) or enter the desired speed-dial memory location (0-9). A tone
indicates that the entire number is stored.
Entering 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.
You can store the access code with the phone number. However, you must
also store a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to
connect. To do so, press REDIAL. Each press enters a 4-second pause.
for a longer pause, press REDIAL additional times.
Dialing A Memory Number
Follow these steps to dial a number stored in memory.
1. Lift the handset or press TALK.
2. When you hear a dial tone, press the priority dialing button, or press
MEMO and enter the speed-dial memory location number for the number
you want to dial.
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 MEMO 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.
