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 vertical 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/HANGUP.  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
        conserves 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
interrupts 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", below.

PAGING

When you press PAGE on the base, the handset sounds a tone.  You can use
the 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
communication 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
    "Entering a Pause", below and "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line",
    above.

    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.
