ET-537 25-Channel Cordless Telephone with 9-Number Memory
(430-1037) Operation Faxback Doc. # 35024
CONFIRMATION TONES
When you press a button, the phone sounds a confirmation tone to indicate
that it accepted the command. If you are out of range or there is too much
interference, the phone sounds an error tone. Move the handset closer to
the base and try again.
MAKING/RECEIVING A CALL
To make a call, lift the handset from the base. If you do not hear a dial
tone, press TALK. When you hear a dial tone, dial the phone number.
To answer a call, lift the handset from the base. If you do not hear the
caller, press TALK.
NOTE: If you accidentally press TALK within 2-3 seconds after answering a
call, the phone ignores your command. After 2-3 seconds, pressing
TALK disconnects the call.
When you are finished with the call either press TALK or return the handset
to the base to hang up.
CHANGING CHANNELS
To reduce interference and get the clearest communications between the base
and handset, the phone automatically selects a clear channel for a call at
the beginning of the call. The phone uses one of 25 channels when you hear
a dial tone or during a call.
However, you can manually change the channel the phone is using during a
call. When you press CHAN, the phone changes to another channel and uses
that one.
NOTE: If the handset is too far from the base, the phone might not change
channels. Move closer to the base and try again.
USING REDIAL
To redial the last number dialed, press REDIAL on the handset when you hear
a dial tone. The phone automatically dials the last number dialed.
NOTE: The redial memory holds up to 63 digits, so you can redial long dis-
tance as well as local phone numbers.
USING 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, quickly press and release FLASH to take an in-
coming call without disconnecting the current call. Quickly press and
release FLASH again to return to the first call.
NOTES: Pressing and holding down FLASH for at least 1 second disconnects
the current call.
Do not press FLASH to hang up the phone.
When you redial a phone number that includes a flash entry, the
phone only redials the numbers after FLASH. For example, if you
dial 1 2 3 4 FLASH 5 6 7, pressing REDIAL only redials 5 6 7.
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 tone dialing during
a call for banking services or computer transactions.
Be sure TONE/PULSE on the back of the base is set to PULSE. Dial the number
as usual then simply press * on the handset at the appropriate place in the
call to change to tone dialing. The phone automatically returns to pulse
dialing when you hang up the call.
USING PRIVACY
If you do not want a person on the other end of the line to hear you, press
and hold down PRIVACY on the handset. The handset's microphone is turned
off without ending the call. Release PRIVACY to resume your conversation.
NOTE: You can still hear the person on the other end of the line when you
press and hold down PRIVACY.
USING PAGE
PAGE on the base lets you locate the handset if you misplaced it, or alert
the person holding the handset. The handset beeps three times when someone
presses and releases PAGE on the base. If you press and hold down PAGE for
about 2 seconds, the handset beeps three times for about 20 seconds. This
gives you time to locate the handset.
NOTE: Pressing PAGE does not disconnect a call in progress.
MEMORY DIALING
STORING PHONE NUMBERS IN MEMORY
You can store up to 9 phone numbers of up to 16 digits each.
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 your accounts secure, we recommend you not store your per-
sonal access code for services such as bank-by-phone.
1. If you hear a dial tone, press TALK.
2. Press MEMORY.
3. Dial the number you want to store, then press MEMORY again.
4. Press the memory location number (1-9) where you want to store the
number. The phone beeps rapidly. The phone number is now stored in
memory.
5. 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).
6. Repeat Steps 1-4 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 stored number, store a new one in its place.
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.
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 # at the appropriate place to enter a 3-4 second
pause. For a longer pause, press # additional times.
DIALING A STORED NUMBER
1. Lift the handset from the cradle. (press TALK if you do not hear a
dial tone).
2. When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY and then press the MEMORY loca-
tion number where the phone number is stored. The phone dials the
stored number.
IMPORTANT: If you want to test a stored number of an emergency 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.
CLEARING A MEMORY LOCATION
To clear a stored phone number from a memory location, press MEMORY twice,
then press the memory location number. A long beep sounds. The phone number
is now cleared from memory.
NOTE: If the phone does not sound a long beep it did not clear the number.
Try again.
CHAIN DIALING 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 memory location number where the
additional information is stored.
