ET-688 2-Line 900-MHz Cordless Speakerphone
(430-0688) Memory Faxback Doc. # 50422
MEMORY DIALING
You can store up to 20 numbers in memory (10 in the handset's memory and
another 10 in the base's memory), then dial a stored number by pressing a
one-digit memory location number.
Notes: Each number you store can be up to 16 digits long.
You cannot dial a number stored in one memory location (the base
or the handset) using the keypad on the other.
Storing a Number in Memory
Notes: If you wait more than 20 seconds after a key press an error tone
sounds and the phone exits the programming mode.
To store a number in the base's memory, start with Step 2.
1. To store a number in the handset's memory, lift the handset. If you
hear a dial tone, press Talk to turn it off.
2. Press Mem. The Talk/Batt Low indicator flashes on the handset or the
Speaker indicator flashes on the base.
3. Enter the number and any tone and pause entries (see "Using tone
Services on a Pulse Line" in Faxback Doc. # 50421 and "Entering a
Pause" below.
Note: Each tone or pause entry uses one digit of memory.
4. Press Mem, then enter the memory location number (0-9). A single tone
sounds to indicate that the number is stored.
Note: If the phone sounds five quick beeps, you have made an entry
error and the number was not stored. Start again from Step 2.
5. For each stored number, write the person's or company's name next to
the appropriate location number on one of the supplied memory
directory stickers. (Use a pencil in case you want to change the
number later). Attach one sticker to the handset and the other to the
base.
To replace a stored number, simply store a new number in its place.
Or, to erase a stored number, press Mem twice, then press the number for
the memory location (0-9) you want to clear. A tone sounds.
Notes: You cannot erase or store to the memory on the base while a call
is in progress (or on hold) on the handset.
Also, a memory store operation in progress at the base is
cancelled if a call is made or answered on the handset.
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 enter a 2-second pause, press Pause (CH/Pause on the handset). For a
longer pause, press it additional times.
Dialing a Memory Number
To dial a number stored in the handset's memory, lift the handset from the
base or press Talk. When you hear a dial tone, press Mem and enter the
memory location number for the number you want to dial.
To dial a number stored in the base's memory, press Speaker. When you
hear a dial tone, press Mem and enter the memory location number for the
number you want to dial.
Chain-Dialing Service Numbers
For quick recall of numbers for special services (such as alternate long
distance or bank-by phone), store each group of numbers in its own memory
location.
To use the stored special service numbers, dial the service's main number
first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press Mem and the
number for the memory 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.
USING A HEADSET
You can make or answer calls with hands-free convenience using an optional
headset that has a 3/32-inch plug. We recommend RadioShack Cat. No.
430-0194.
To connect the headset, pull open the rubber cover marked (headset symbol)
on the side of the handset, then insert the 3/32-inch plug into the jack.
Notes: Connecting a headset disconnects the handset's earpiece and
microphone, but it does not affect the ET-688's speakerphone.
Vol/Ring on the handset also controls the connected headset's
volume.
If you place the handset on the base face down to recharge it
while the headset is connected, be sure the handset seats
properly.
With a headset connected, you make or answer calls as usual using the keys
on the handset or base. If you attached the supplied belt clip (see
"Using the Belt Clip" in Faxback Doc. # 50420), you can slip the handset
on your belt for complete hands-free convenience!
When you finish using the headset, disconnect it from the handset and
close the rubber cover to protect the jack.
