900 MHz Digital Cordless Speakerphone with Dual Keypads
(430-1085)                 OPERATION                  Faxback Doc. # 32938

IMPORTANT:  If you move the handset outside the base's range, the handset
            will not operate properly and a call in progress might be
            disconnected (see "Troubleshooting" on Faxback Doc. # 32940).

NOTE:  You can use the keypad on either the handset or the base to operate
       the ET-910.  To use the phone's features during a call, however, you
       must use the same keypad that you used to make or answer that call.

MAKING/ANSWERING CALLS

Using the Handset

To make a call using the handset, simply lift the handset and press TALK.
When you hear the dial tone, dial the desired phone number or memory number
(see "Using Memory Dialing" on Faxback Doc. # 32939).

To answer a call if the handset is on the base, simply lift the handset and
begin your conversation.

To answer a call if the handset is not on the base, press any key on the
handset (except OFF) before speaking.

NOTES:  Both the HANDSET IN USE indicator on the base and the TALK
        indicator on the handset flash when you receive a call, and light
        steadily while the handset is in use.

        If the handset's ringer is turned on and you press OFF while the
        handset is ringing, the handset's ringer turns off for that call
        only, then it automatically turns on about 5 seconds after the call
        ends.

        To turn the handset's volume up or down during a call, press /\ or
        \/ on the side of the handset.

To end a call, place the handset on the base or press OFF.  The HANDSET IN
USE indicator on the base and the TALK indicator on the handset turn off.

Using the Speakerphone

To make a call using the speakerphone, simply press SPKR so the SPKR
indicator turns on, listen for the dial tone, then dial the desired phone
number or memory number (see "Using Memory Dialing" on Faxback Doc.
# 32939).  When the other party answers, begin your conversation.

To answer a call using the speakerphone, simply press SPKR so the SPKR
indicator turns on, then begin your conversation.

To end a speakerphone call, simply press SPKR again.  The SPKR indicator
turns off.

NOTES:  To turn the speaker's volume up or down before, during, or after
        you make or answer a call using the speakerphone, press VOLUME
        /\ or \/.

        The speakerphone's microphone is most effective when you speak
        toward it from about 20 inches away.  However, if the other party
        has trouble hearing you, try moving closer to the microphone.

        While using the speakerphone, you cannot hear the other party while
        you are speaking.

        If background noise interferes with the speakerphone's operation,
        you can turn off the ET-910's microphone while the other party is
        speaking (see "Using PRIVACY" below).

Switching Between the Handset and Speakerphone

To switch to the speakerphone at any time during a call while you are using
the handset, simply press SPKR on the base so its red indicator turns on
then press OFF to turn off the handset.

To switch to the handset at any time during a call while you are using the
speakerphone, simply lift the handset off the base.  The red SPKR indicator
turns off and the handset's red TALK indicator turns on.

NOTE:  If the handset is already off the base, you must first press TALK to
       switch from the speakerphone to the handset, then press SPKR so its
       red indicator turns off. If you do not you will disconnect the call.

Using Both the Handset and Speakerphone

If you make or answer a call using the speakerphone, someone else can press
TALK on the handset and join the conversation.

If you make or answer a call using the handset, one or more people can join
the conversation by pressing SPKR in the base.

During the call, one of you can hang up and end the call at that keypad and
let the call continue at the other keypad.

Or, you can both hang up at the same time to end the call.

USING REDIAL

To redial the last number dialed, press TALK to get a dial tone on the
handset or press SPKR to get a dial tone on the base, then press REDIAL.
The phone automatically dials the last number dialed.

USING HOLD

To place a call on hold, simply press HOLD.  The HOLD indicator on the base
and the TALK indicator on the handset (if it is off the base) flash to
remind you that the call is on hold.  You and the other party cannot hear
each other.

To take a call off hold and resume your conversation, simply press SPKR on
the base or TALK on the handset (whichever you used to make or answer the
call).  The HOLD indicator turns off.

NOTES:  If you are using the handset, you can lay it down on a flat surface
        or place it on the base after you place the call on hold.

        If the handset is on the base and a call is on hold, you can simply
        pick up the handset to take the call off hold.

USING PRIVACY

To talk to someone else in the room without the person on the other end of
the phone line hearing your conversation, press and release PRIVACY during
the call.  The PRIVACY/LOW BATT indicator on the handset or the PRIVACY
indicator on the base lights steadily.

Press PRIVACY again to resume your phone conversation.  The indicator turns
off.

USING FLASH

You can use FLASH to produce a switchhook signal for special phone
services, such as call waiting.  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.

NOTE:  If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might
       disconnect the current call.

USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE

If you have pulse service, you can temporarily switch to sending tones for
banking services or computer transactions.

Dial the number as usual, then simply press TONE * at the appropriate place
in the call to change to tone dialing.  The phone automatically returns to
pulse dialing when you end the call.

CHANGING CHANNELS

The ET-910 continuously scans 10 channels (frequency pairs used between the
base and the handset) and automatically selects the one with the least
interference each time you make or receive a  call using the handset.

If you notice interference during a call, however, you can repeatedly press
INT.CM on the handset to try and find a clearer channel. The ET-910 changes
to a different channel each time you press the key.

NOTE:  You cannot change the channel while using HOLD.
