CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The ET-598 comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack installed
in the handset.  Before using your phone, you must connect the battery
pack, then charge it for about 14 hours.

1.  Remove the screw from the battery compartment cover on the bottom of
    the handset, then press down and slide off the handset's cover.

2.  Plug the battery pack's plastic connector into the phone's socket.
    The connector fits only one way.

3.  Replace the cover and tighten the screw.

4.  To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base.  The
    CHARGE indicator on the base lights.

    Recharge the battery pack when the BATT LOW indicator flashes.

    NOTES:  If the CHARGE indicator does not light when you place the
            handset on the base, be sure the battery pack and AC adapter
            are correctly and securely connected.

            When you first use the phone after charging or recharging
            the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear
            an error tone.  If this happens, return the handset to the
            base for a few seconds.

            If the BATT LOW indicator does not flash and the phone does
            not work, recharge the battery pack.  (The battery charge
            might be too low to flash the indicator.)

            If the battery pack gets weak during a call, the handset
            sounds a beep every 30 seconds, and the BATT LOW indicator
            flashes.  If this happens, you must recharge the battery
            pack before you can make another call.

            About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by
            keeping the handset off the base until the BATT LOW indicator
            flashes.  Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to
            fully recharge.

            Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the
            handset and the base about once a month to make sure they
            are not dirty or tarnished.


SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set P..T on the back of the base for the type of service you have.  If
you are not sure which type you have, do this test.

1.  Set P..T to T (tone).

2.  Press SPEAKER then press LINE 1 and listen for the dial tone.

3.  Press any number other than 0.

    NOTE:  If your phone system requires that you dial an access code
           (9, for example) before you dial an outside number, do not
           press the access code either.

           If the dial tone stops, that line has tone service.

           If the dial tone continues, that line has pulse service.

4.  Press LINE 2, listen for the dial tone, and repeat Step 3.

If you have tone service on both lines, leave P..T set to T.

If you have pulse service on either line, set P..T or P (pulse).


TURNING THE RINGER ON/OFF

You can turn the ringer on the base on or off.  Set RINGER on the back
of the base to the position you want.

The switch setting affects the ringer on the base only.  The handset's
ringer is always turned on as long as the handset is off the base.  When
you place the handset on the base and set RINGER to OFF, the ET-598 does
not ring when it receives a call.  However, other phones connected to the
same phone line still ring.
