ET-551 25-Channel Cordless Phone
(430-1051) Operation Faxback Doc. # 45314

Making and Receiving Calls

To make a call, pick up the handset and press TALK. When the TALK indica-
tor lights steadily and you hear the dial tone, dial the phone number.

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 TALK on the
handset before speaking.

To end a call place the handset on the base or press TALK.

Note: If you press TALK to hang up and the phone does not disconnect,
place the handset on the base or press TALK again while holding the
handset closer to the base.

Changing The Channel

The ET-551 finds a clear channel for each call, but if you notice interfer-
ence during a call, you can press CHANNEL to find a clearer channel.

The ET-551 changes to a different channel each time you press CHANNEL

Note: If the handset is too far from the base, the channel might not
change. Move closer to the base and try again.

Using Redial

REDIAL, lets you quickly dial the last number dialed. When you hear the
dial tone after pressing TALK, simply press REDIAL.

Note: The redial memory does not store a flash entry (see "Using Flash")

Using Flash

FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation for
special services, such as Call Waiting.

For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH to answer 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

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. Be sure T/P is set to P.

2. Press TALK.

3. When you hear the dial tone, dial the service's main number.

4. When you want to send tone signals, press *. Any additional numbers
you dial are sent as tone signals.

5. After you complete the call, return the handset to the base or press
TALK. The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode.

Paging

To page the person who has the handset or to locate the handset when the
phone is not in use, press PAGE on the base. The handset beeps three
times. If you hold down PAGE for 2 seconds, the handset beeps for 30 seconds to give you time to locate the handset.

Memory Dialing

You can store up to 16 digits in each of the ten memory locations, then
dial a stored number by pressing a one-digit memory location number.

Storing a Number in Memory

Note: An error tone sounds and the phone exits the programming mode if you
wait more than about 6 seconds between each key press or enter more
than 16 digits.

1. Press MEMORY. The TALK indicator flashes.

2. Enter the phone number and any tone and pause entries (see "Using Tone
Services on a Pulse Line" and "Entering a Pause").

Note: Each tone or pause entry uses one digit of memory.

3. Press MEMORY, then enter the memory location number (0-9). A single
tone sounds to indicate that the number is stored.

Repeat Steps 2-4 for each number you want to store.

Note:

If three quick beeps sound, you have made an error and the number
was not stored. Start again from Step 2.

For each stored number, write the person's or company's name next
to the appropriate location number on the memory dialing card.
We recommend you use a pencil in case you want to change the
number later.

(See Illus.)

To erase a stored number, simply store a new number in its place.

Entering 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 should
also store a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to
connect.

To do so, press REDIAL at the appropriate place to enter a 4-second pause.
For a longer pause, press REDIAL additional times.

Dialing a Memory Number

To dial a number stored in memory, press TALK. When you hear a dial tone,
press MEMORY and enter the memory location number for the number you want
to dial.

Chain-Dialing Service 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 then the number for the location where the
additional information is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

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