Making and Receiving Calls

Before using the phone, put the headset on and adjust it as needed.  Then 
set POWER to ON.

To make a call, press TALK/HANG UP.  You hear a dial tone and the TALK/LOW 
BATT indicator lights.  Dial the number you want to call.

To disconnect a call, press TALK/HANG UP or place the keypad on the base.

To answer a call when the keypad is on the base, pick up the keypad.  The 
TALK/LOW BATT indicator lights.

Notes:  To conserve battery power, set POWER to OFF when the remote keypad
        is away from the base.  When you hear another phone on the same
        line ring, set POWER to ON and press TALK/HANG UP to answer the
        call.

        When you press a button, a single tone indicates that the phone
        accepts the command.  Three tones indicate that you pressed a
        button in error, you are out of range, or there is too much
        interference.  If there is severe interference, move the remote
        keypad closer to the base before you press any key.

        If interference is severe, the remote keypad might lose
        communication with the base and the call might disconnect.  This
        does not happen often, but if it does, return the remote keypad to
        the cradle for a few seconds.

Changing Channels

Your headset cordless telephone has an Auto Scan feature that 
automatically selects a clear channel when you press TALK/HANG UP.  If you 
experience interference during a call, press CHANNEL to switch to another 
channel until you have good reception.

Setting The Volume

The VOLUME control lets you adjust the volume you hear through the 
headset.  This is especially useful for people who have trouble hearing, 
or when you encounter poor phone lines or are in an especially noisy area 
like a kitchen or workshop.  Simply set VOLUME to the desired listening 
level.

Using Redial

To quickly redial the last number dialed, press TALK/HANG UP then 
REDIAL/PAUSE.

Notes:  The redial memory holds up to 80 digits in the tone mode and 79
        digits in the pulse mode, so you can redial long-distance as well
        as local numbers.

        The redial memory can also switch from pulse to tone dialing (see
        "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line," below, and can store PAUSE
        entries (see "Entering a Pause in a Memory Number," below.

Using Privacy

Hold down PRIVACY to talk to someone else in the room without the person 
on the other end of the phone line hearing your conversation.  You can 
still hear the person on the other end of the phone line.

Release PRIVACY to resume your phone conversation.

Using Flash

FLASH provides the electronic equivalent of a switch hook signal for 
special phone services such as Call Waiting.

For example, if you have Call Waiting, you can put your current call on 
hold and answer a second call by pressing FLASH.  Press FLASH again to 
alternate between the two calls.

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

        If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH
        might disconnect your current call.

Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line

Some special phone services, such as bank-by-phone, require tone signals.
If you have pulse service, you can still use these special tone services.

1.  Dial the service's main number.

2.  Press TONE/* at the point where tone signals are required, then dial
    the additional numbers.  The phone sends these numbers as tone
    signals.

3.  The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode when you hang up.

Memory Dialing

You can store up to 10 numbers of up to 16 digits.

Notes:  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.

        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 locations.

Storing a Number in Memory

1.  With the TALK/LOW BATT indicator off, press MEMORY.

    Note:  If you do not press any button on the keypad within about 10
           seconds, a buzz sounds and the phone exits the number storing
           process.  Start again from Step 1.

2.  Dial the number you want to store.

3.  Press MEMORY again.

4.  Press the memory location number (0-9) where you want to store the
    number.  A long beep sounds, and the phone number is stored in memory.

5.  Pull out the memory index card at the bottom of the base and write the
    stored number next to the memory location number.  We recommend you
    use a pencil in case you want to change it later.

Notes:  If you receive a call while you are storing a number in memory,
        press TALK/HANG UP to answer the call.  After the call, begin
        again at Step 1.

        To change a number stored in memory, simply store a new number in
        that memory location.

        To clear a memory location so no number is stored there, press
        MEMORY twice, then press the memory location number.  A long beep
        sounds, and the number is cleared from memory.

If a buzz sounds, you did not successfully clear the memory location.  
Repeat the process.

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.  To
enter a 2-second pause, press REDIAL/PAUSE at the appropriate point when
you store a number.  To enter another 2-second pause, press REDIAL/PAUSE
again.

Dialing a Stored Number

Press TALK/HANG UP, and when you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY then the
memory location number.  The phone dials the stored number.

Chain Dialing Service Numbers

Note:  If you use pulse dialing to dial the service, be sure you have
       stored a tone entry (TONE/*) in another memory location.

When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY and the memory location number for
the service's main number.  When the service's main number answers, press
MEMORY and the memory location numbers for the additional information.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service's number (police department, fire 
department, 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.
