Making/Answering a Call

You can use your cordless telephone at the base or away from the base.
Fully extend the handset's antenna.

Using the Handset at the Base

You can use the handset at the base like a regular corded telephone. Just
set POWER to ON and place the handset in the base.

To answer a call, lift the handset from the base.

To make a call, lift the handset from the base and press TALK so the keypad
and the CHARGE/TALK indicator on the base light.

To disconnect a call, replace the handset on the base.

Using the Handset Away from the Base

To make or answer a call, set POWER to ON and press TALK.  The keypad light
and the CHARGE/TALK indicator turn on.

To disconnect a call, press TALK so the keypad light and the CHARGE/TALK
indicator turn off.

NOTES: To conserve battery power, you can turn off the handset's power when
       you are not making or answering a call. The ET-539 does not ring when
       it receives an incoming call with the handset's power turned off.
       However, other phones on the same line still ring. To answer the call
       using the cordless phone, turn on the handset and press TALK.

You can make or answer a call on a phone on the same line as the cordless
phone, even if the handset is away from the base.

Changing Channels

Your ET-539 Auto-Scan feature automatically selects the clearest channel
when you pick up the phone.  If you experience interference during a call,
press CH to switch to the next channel (25 in all) until you receive the
best reception.

Using Redial

To quickly redial the last number dialed, simply lift the handset from the
base and press TALK again so the CHARGE/TALK indicator lights, then press
REDIAL.

The redial memory holds up to 81 digits in the tone mode or 80 digits in the
pulse mode.  The redial memory also holds pause entries (see "Entering a
Pause" under "Memory Dialing").

NOTE:  We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a tone
       (*) entry (see "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line").

Using Flash

Use FLASH on the handset to perform the switchhook operation for special
services, such as call waiting.

For example, 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.

NOTES: If you do not have special phone services, pressing FLASH might dis-
       connect the current call.

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

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 follow-
ing these steps.

1.  Set TONE/PULSE on the base to PULSE.

2.  Dial the service's main number.

3.  When the service answers, press (*) on the keypad.  Then dial the
    additional numbers.  The phone sends these numbers as tone signals.

4.  When you complete the call, place the handset on the base or press TALK
    to disconnect the call.  The phone automatically resets to the pulse
    mode.

NOTE:  We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a tone
       (*) entry.

Using Page

The PAGE feature lets you send a page from the base to the handset.  With
the handset's power on and its TALK light off, the handset beeps three sets
of two beeps when someone presses PAGE on the base.  The TALK light on the
handset and the CHARGE/TALK indicator on the base flash.

NOTE:  The handset will not beep during a call or if its power is off.

Memory Dialing

You can store up to 10 numbers up to 16 digits long.

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 (*) in the next memory
       location. Do not store both pulse and tone entries in the same memory
       location.

       To keep your accounts secure, we recommend you do NOT store your per-
       sonal access code for services such as bank-by-phone in a memory
       location.

Storing a Number in Memory

1.  With the handset's power on, press MEMORY.  The keypad lights.

NOTE:  While you are storing a number in memory, if you do not press any
       button on the keypad within about 9 seconds, a buzz sounds, then the
       keypad light turns off.  You must start the process over from the
       beginning.

2.  Dial the phone number you want to store.

3.  Press MEMORY again.

4.  Press the memory location number (0-9) where you want to store the num-
    ber.  A long beep sounds.  The phone number is now stored in memory.

5.  Remove the plastic covering from the base's index sheet with a small
    pointed object, such as the end of a straightened paper clip.

    Write the person's or company's name by the memory location number on
    the sheet in pencil (in case you want to store different number later).

6.  Repeat Steps 1-5 to store 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 number stored in memory, simply store a new number in
        that memory location.

        To clear a memory location so no number is stored there, press
        MEMORY twice, then press the memory location number.  A long beep
        sounds.  The number in now cleared from memory.

        If a buzz sounds, you did not successfully clear the memory loca-
        tion.  Try the process again.

Entering a Pause in a Memory Number

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.  If your
phone is connected to one of these systems, you might want to enter a pause
at the appropriate point when you store a phone number in memory.

At the appropriate place in the number, press REDIAL to enter a 2-second
pause.   For a longer pause, press REDIAL again.

Dialing a Stored Number

Follow these steps to dial a number stored in memory.

1.  Lift the handset from the base and press TALK so its light turns on.

2.  When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY and then press the correct
    memory location number.  The phone dials the stored number.

Storing/Chain Dialing Service Numbers

When storing numbers for special services (such as alternate long distance
or bank-by-phone), store the service's main phone number in one memory loca-
tion and numbers for additional information in others.

NOTE:  If you initially use pause dialing to dial the service, be sure you
       have stored a tone entry (*) in the next memory location before the
       numbers for the additional information.

To chain dial memory numbers, follow these steps.

1.  With the handset's power on and the TALK light on, press MEMORY and the
    memory-location number for the service's main number.

2.  Wait for the service to answer.

3.  Press MEMORY and the memory location numbers for the additional infor-
    mation.

4.  To disconnect the call, press TALK so its light turns off, or simply
    replace the handset on the base.

Testing Store Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service's number (police department, fire depart-
ment, ambulance, etc.) and you want to test the stored number, make the test
call during the late evening or early morning to avoid peak demand periods.
Remain on the line to explain the reason for your call.
