(430-0682)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 59760

Setting The Dialing Mode

Set PULSE-TONE on the back of the base for the type of service you have.  
If you are not sure which type you have, do this test.

1.  Be sure PULSE-TONE is set to TONE. 

2.  Press LINE 1 on the handset.  LINE 1 appears on the handset's display.  
    Then listen for the dial tone. 

3.  Press any number other than 0.

    Note:  If your phone system requires that you dial an access code (9, 
           for example) before you dial an outside number, do not press 
           the access code either.

    If the dial tone stops, that line has tone service. 

    If the dial tone continues, that line has pulse service.

4.  Press LINE 2, listen for the dial tone, and repeat Step 3.

If you have tone service on both lines, leave PULSE-TONE set to TONE. 

If you have pulse service on either line, set PULSE-TONE to PULSE.  You 
can use tone services on the line which supports them by pressing */TONE 
before any other keys. 

Adjusting The Ringer

The phone lets you control its base and handset ringer volume separately.
You can choose from a high or low ringer setting for the base and the 
handset. 

On the Handset

At any time except during a call, press VOL /\ to increase the ringer's 
volume or VOL \/ to decrease its volume.  The display shows Ringer High or 
Ringer Low.

To disable the handset's ringer, set RINGER on the bottom of the handset 
to OFF.

Note:  The handset still rings when it receives a page/intercom signal 
       from the base.  See "Using the Paging/Intercom Features" in Faxback
       Doc. # 59761.

On the Base

Set RING VOL on the back of the base to OFF, LO, or HI.  With RING VOL set 
to OFF, the base's ringer does not sound when a call is received, but the 
handset (and any other phone connected to the same line) still rings. 

Note:  The RING VOL setting on the base is common to both lines.

Setting Auto Talk

Your phone is preset so you must press LINE 1 or LINE 2 to answer a call.  
With auto talk turned on, you can answer a call by lifting the handset 
from the base or by pressing any key on the handset if the handset is away 
from the base.  You can set the auto talk function on or off for each line 
separately. 

Note: You must set each line for auto talk separately.  When you turn on
      auto talk for Line 1 only, you need to press LINE 2 to answer a call
      on Line 2.

Follow these steps to turn auto talk on or off. 

1.  Lift the handset and hold down CID/HOLD until Caller ID Setup appears
    with the pointer at Line 1.

2.  Use /\ or \/ to select Line 1 or 2, then press SELECT.

3.  A menu appears with Auto Talk selected.  Press SELECT to change the 
    setting.  On or Off appears, indicating the selected setting.

4.  To clear the display when you finish, press CID/HOLD or return the
    handset to the base.

Turning Caller ID/Call Waiting On/Off

If you have Call Waiting and Caller ID service, you can set the phone to 
show Caller ID information for an incoming call even while you are already 
on the phone.

Note:  You must set each line for Caller ID/Call Waiting separately.

1.  Lift the handset and hold down CID/HOLD until Caller ID Setup appears
    with the pointer at Line 1.

2.  Use /\ or \/ to select Line 1 or 2, then press SELECT.

3.  A menu appears with Auto Talk selected. Press \/ or 2 to select CIDCW,
    then press SELECT to change the setting.  On or Off appears indicating
    the selected setting. 

4.  Return the handset to the base to store the new setting.

CAUTION:  Pressing CID/HOLD does not store the setting.  Be sure to return
          the handset to the base.

Storing Your Area Code

To quickly dial a number from a Caller ID record (see "Dialing Numbers 
from a Caller ID Record" in Faxback Doc. # 59762) or to correctly store a 
number from a record into a memory dialing location (see "Storing a Caller 
ID Record in Memory" in Faxback Doc. # 59762),  you must store your local 
area code in the, phone's memory.  Then, when you dial from a Caller ID 
record, the phone skips the area code if it matches the one you stored.

Note:  The area code is set separately for each line.

1.  Lift the handset and hold down CID/HOLD until Caller ID Setup appears
    with the pointer at Line 1.

2.  Use /\ or \/ to select Line 1 or 2, then press SELECT.

    Note:  If an area code is already stored, it appears when you press 
           SELECT.  To delete the area code, press DEL/CONF three times.  
           Then go on to Step 4.

3.  A menu appears with Auto Talk selected.  Press \/ twice or 3 to select 
    Area Code, then press SELECT.

4.  Enter your 3-digit area code using the number keys.  If you make a 
    mistake, repeatedly press < or > to move the cursor over the incorrect 
    digit, then enter the correct number. 

5.  Press SELECT to store the area code, then press CID/HOLD or return the 
    handset to the base to clear the display. 

Note:  If your calling area requires 10-digit dialing including area code,
       do not enter the area code but leave this option blank.

Setting The Number Of Rings

Set RING TIME on the back of the base to 2, 4, or TS (toll-saver) to 
select how long the phone waits to answer a call (2 rings, 4 rings, or 
toll-saver).

Notes:  If you plan to check messages by long distance, set RING TIME to
        TS (see "Using the Toll-Saver" in Faxback Doc. # 59764).

        The ring time setting is common to both lines.

Setting The Day/Time

You must set the day of the week and time so the phone can record the 
correct day and time of each message. 

Notes: Enter each key press within about 2 minutes.  Otherwise, the phone
       exits the time setting process and you must begin again with Step 1

       If a call is received during the setup process, the phone exits the
       time setting process.  Begin again with Step 1.

1.  Hold down CLOCK until the phone beeps.  The phone announces the 
    currently set day and displays the day's number (0 for Sunday, 1 for 
    Monday, and so on).

2.  To change the day of the week, repeatedly press SKIP to move forward 
    or REPEAT to move backward.  To set the correct day of the week when 
    it displays, press CLOCK.

3.  The phone announces the hour.  To change the hour, repeatedly press 
    SKIP or REPEAT. To set the correct hour when it displays, press CLOCK.

4.  The phone announces the minutes.  To change the minutes, repeatedly 
    press SKIP or REPEAT.  To set the correct minutes when they display, 
    press CLOCK.

5.  The phone announces "AM" or "PM" and A or P appears.  Press SKIP or 
    REPEAT to change this setting.  Press CLOCK again to set "AM" or "PM."

6.  To check the day and time, press CLOCK.  The phone announces the 
    currently set day and time.

Note:  When power fails, the clock retains the current time.  When the 
       power is restored, it starts counting again from the time the power
       failed. If PP flashes or you know there has been a power failure,
       check and readjust the clock if necessary.
