Making/Answering A Call

To make and answer calls, set POWER to ON. For best reception, fully extend
the antennas on the base and handset, and place the base's antenna in a ver-
tical position.

If the handset is on the cradle, lift the handset to make or answer a call.
If the handset is away from the cradle, press TALK/HANG-UP. The TALK/HANGUP
and IN USE indicators light.

To disconnect a call, place the handset on the cradle, or press TALK/HANGUP.
The TALK/HANGUP and IN USE indicators turn off.

Notes: If you can hear the ringer of another phone on the same line, you can
       set POWER to OFF when the handset is away from the base.  This con-
       serves battery power.  When you hear the other phone ring, set POWER
       to ON and press TALK/HANGUP to answer the call.

       When you press a button, a tone sounds to show that the phone
       accepted the command.  Or, three error tones sound to show that you
       pressed a button in error, you are out of range or there is too much
       interference. (You do not hear these tones if RINGER is set to OFF.)

       The sound from the handset is slightly different from a regular
       phone. This lets you know the communication scrambling is working
       properly.

Reducing Interference

To reduce interference, press CH to switch to the next channel. This inter-
rupts the call for about 3 seconds.  Then, the handset sounds two tones (if
RINGER is set to HI or LO), and your call resumes.

Notes: If interference is severe, the handset sounds three tones (if RINGER
       is set to HI or LO) to indicate that it cannot communicate with the
       base.  Before you press any key, move closer to the base.

       If the battery is low or interference is severe, the handset might
       lose communication with the base when you press CH.  This does not
       happen often, but if it does, return the handset to the cradle for
       about 5 seconds.

Using Redial

Follow these steps to quickly redial the last number you dialed.

1.  Return the handset to the cradle or press TALK/HANGUP to disconnect the
    call.

2.  Lift the handset or press TALK/HANGUP, and listen for a dial tone.

3.  Press REDIAL.

The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long-distance
numbers as well as local numbers.

The redial memory also holds PAUSE entries. See "Entering a Pause" under
"Memory Dialing."

Paging

When you press PAGE on the base, the handset sounds a tone.  You can use
this feature to page someone in another part of the house or to help you
locate the handset when it is away from the cradle.  Each time you press
PAGE, the IN USE indicator lights.

Notes: The RINGER switch controls the pager's volume.  If you set RINGER to
       OFF, the pager does not sound.

       During a call, the paging tone's volume is lower.

Using The Privacy Feature

Press and hold down PRIVACY if you do not want the person on the other end
of the phone line to hear you as you talk to someone in the room with you.
You can still hear the person on the other end of the phone line.  Release
PRIVACY to resume your phone conversation.

Communication Scrambler

For extra privacy, your phone automatically scrambles communication between
the phone's handset and base. This helps prevent outside users of communica-
tion devices - such as scanners, baby monitors, and other cordless phones -
from listening to your conversations.

Using Flash

Use FLASH 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: The redial memory does not store the FLASH entry or the digits you
       press after the FLASH entry.

       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.  Follow
these steps.

1.  Be sure MODE is set to PULSE.

2.  Dial the service's main number.

3.  When the service answers, press LDT.  Then, dial the additional numbers.
    The phone sends these numbers by tone signal.

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

Note: We recommend you not use the redial feature for numbers that include
      an LDT entry.  The 2-second pause following the mode change might not
      be long enough to allow the special service to answer.

Memory Dialing

You can store up to 30 telephone numbers in memory.  You can then dial a
stored number by entering a two-digit, memory-location code.

Storing a Number in Memory

Follow these steps to store a number in memory.  Each number you store can
be up to 16 digits long.

1.  Be sure MODE is set for the type of service you have, and be sure the
    TALK/HANG UP indicator is off.

2.  Press STORE.  Two tones sound.

    Note: The STORE button is recessed to prevent you from accidentally
          pressing it.

3.  Enter the phone number including any PAUSE and LDT entries. See "Enter-
    ing a Pause" and "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line."

    Note: Each PAUSE and LDT entry uses one digit in memory.

4.  Press MEMORY.

5.  Press a two-digit number from 01 to 30 to assign a memory-location code.
    Two tones sound to confirm that the number was stored.

Notes: If you receive a call while you are storing a number in memory, press
       TALK/HANGUP to answer the call.  After the call, begin again at Step
       2 to store the number.

       For each stored number, write the person's or company's name next to
       the appropriate location number on the MEMORY directory. Use a pencil
       in case you later store a different number.

       To delete a number from memory, repeat the steps in "Storing a Number
       in Memory" but do not enter a phone number.

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.

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.  Press PAUSE to enter a 2-second pause.  For a longer pause, press
PAUSE additional times.

Dialing a Stored Number

Follow these steps to dial a number stored in memory.

1.  Lift the handset from the cradle or press TALK/HANGUP.

2.  When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY.

3.  Enter the memory-location code for the number you are dialing.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

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

Storing/Chain-Dialing Special Service Numbers

When you store special services (such as alternate long-distance or bank-by-
phone), we recommend you store the service's phone number in one memory
location and store additional information (such as the long-distance number)
in another memory location.

To memory-dial a special service, press MEMORY and the memory-location code
for the service's main number.  When the service answers, press MEMORY and
the memory-location code for the additional information.

Notes: If you have pulse service, be sure you store an LDT entry at the end
       of the service's main number.

       If the service requires a personal identification number, manually
       dial the number at the appropriate time.  To prevent unauthorized
       access to the special service, we recommend you not store your
       personal identification number in memory.
