ET-543 LCD Cordless Telephone
(430-1043) Operation Faxback Doc. # 39334
Your ET-543's LCD display shows telephone numbers as you dial them or when
you recall them from memory. It shows the current channel number and lets
you know when battery power is growing weak or the phone is out of range
of the base. The display also shows indicators when you press FLASH/DEL
or PAUSE.
MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL
You can use your cordless telephone in two ways: at the base or away from
the base.
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 cradle.
To answer a call, just 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.
Note: CH and the currently used channel number appear on the display.
This number might change when you return the handset to the base.
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 and
CHARGE/TALK indicator light.
To disconnect a call, press TALK so the keypad light and the CHARGE/TALK
indicator turn off.
Notes:
CH and the currently used channel number appear on the display.
To conserve battery power, you can turn off the handset's power when you
are not making or answering a call.
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.
RANGE appears when the distance from the handset to the base is out of the
phone's range.
The keypad lights on the handset turn off if no button is pressed for more
than 13 seconds.
REDUCING INTERFERENCE
To reduce interference, press CH to switch to the next channel (25 channels
in all) until you receive the best reception. CH and the channel number
appear on the display.
USING REDIAL
To quickly redial the last number you dialed, simply lift the handset from
the base and press TALK again so the CHARGE/TALK indicator lights, and then
press REDIAL. The redialed number appears on the display.
The redial memory holds up to 80 digits in the tone or pulse mode. The
redial memory also holds pause entries (see "Entering a Pause" under
"Memory Dialing").
Note: We recommend you do not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a
tone (*) entry (see "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line").
USING FLASH/DEL
Use FLASH/DEL on the handset to perform the switchhook operation for
special services, such as call waiting.
For example, if you have call waiting, press FLASH/DEL to take an incoming
call without disconnecting the current call. FLASH appears. Press
FLASH/DEL again to return to the first call.
Notes:
If you do not have special phone services, pressing FLASH/DEL might
disconnect the current call.
The redial memory does not store a FLASH/DEL entry or any digits entered
after you press FLASH/DEL.
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. Set TONE/PULSE on the base to PULSE.
2. Dial the service's main number.
3. When the service answers, press * on the keypad. A appears on the
display. Then dial the additional numbers. The phone sends these
numbers as tone signals.
4. When you complete the call, place the handset on the cradle or press
TALK to disconnect the call. The phone automatically resets to the
pulse mode.
Note: We recommend you do not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a
tone (*) entry.
USING PAGE
The PAGE feature allows someone at the base to page you at the handset. It
also helps you find the handset if you misplaced it.
With the handset's power on, the handset beeps four sets of two beeps when
you press PAGE on the base. The TALK key on the handset flashes, and the
channel number and INT appear on the display.
Note: The handset will not beep during a call.
MEMORY DIALING
You can store up to 30 phone numbers for quick and easy dialing. Each
stored number can be 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 along with the number.
To keep your accounts secure, we recommend you do NOT store your personal
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 and MEM
appears on the display.
Note: While you are storing a number in memory, if you do not press
any button on the keypad within about 9 seconds, the keypad
light turns off and a buzz sounds. You must press MEMORY again
so the keypad lights before you can store the telephone number.
2. Enter the phone number you want to store. The number appears on the
display.
Notes:
The phone does not dial the number at this point.
If you enter a wrong digit, press FLASH/DEL to delete the last entered
digit.
If you enter more than 16 digits, the phone buzzes and the display
turns off. To dial a number with more than 16 digits, see "Chain
Dialing."
3. Press MEMORY again.
4. Enter the two-digit memory location number (01, 02, .... 30) where you
want to store the number. The index number appears, and a long beep
sounds. The phone number is now stored in the memory.
5. Pull out the memory index card at the bottom of the base. Write the
person's or company's name and index number on the sheet in pencil (in
case you want to change it 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 phone number stored in memory, simply store a new phone number
in that location.
To clear a memory location so no number is stored there, press MEMORY
twice, then press the location number. A long beep sounds. The phone
number is now cleared from the memory.
If a buzz sounds, you did not successfully clear the memory location. 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 PAUSE to enter a 2-second
pause. P appears. For a longer pause, press PAUSE again.
Note: Each PAUSE entry uses on digit of memory.
Dialing a Stored Number
There are three ways to dial a stored number.
Method 1
1. Lift the handset from the cradle and press TALK so the keypad and TALK
key light.
2. When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY, then press the number buttons
for the correct memory location. The stored number appears on the
display, and the phone dials the stored number.
Method 2
1. Lift the handset from the cradle and press TALK so the keypad and TALK
key light.
2. Press SCROLL up or down to search for the desired stored number. The
selected number appears on the display.
3. Press ENTER. The phone dials the stored number.
Method 3
1. With POWER set to ON and the TALK key not lit, press SCROLL up or down
to search for the desired stored number.
2. Press TALK. The phone dials the number automatically.
Chain Dialing
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
location and numbers for additional information in other memory locations.
To chain dial memory numbers, follow these steps.
1. With the handset's power on, press MEMORY and the memory-location
number for the service's main number. The numbers appear.
2. Wait for the service to answer.
Note: If you use pulse dialing to dial the service, be sure you have
stored a * (tone) entry in the memory location you use to send
the additional information.
3. Press MEMORY and the numbers for the memory location where the
additional information is stored. The numbers appear.
4. To disconnect the call, press TALK so the TALK key does not light.
Testing Stored Emergency Numbers
If you store an emergency service's number (police, fire, ambulance) 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.
