Making a Call
To make a call, lift the handset from the base and press LINE 1 or LINE 2,
then dial the number. When you press a line button on the handset, Line 1
or Line 2 appears on the handset's display. The same line's indicator on
the base flashes to show that someone is using that line at the handset.
Note: If (Base) or In Use appears above Line 1 or Line 2, someone is using
that line at the base or on an extension phone. Press the other line
button.
You can also enter the number before you press LINE 1 or LINE 2. If you
make a mistake, press DEL/CONF until the incorrect entry is erased, then
enter the correct number. To delete the entire number, hold down DEL/CONF.
To end a call, press LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the handset or place the handset
on the base.
Answering A Call
When a call comes in, (Call) appears along with Line 1 or Line 2
(whichever is ringing). The line indicator for that line flashes at the
base.
Note: To help you tell which line is ringing, each line has a distinctive
ring tone.
To answer a call using the handset, lift the handset from the base and
press the line button for the line that is ringing. If auto talk is on,
just lift the handset from the base, or, if the handset is away from the
base, press any key to answer a call. The display changes to show the
elapsed time on the call.
To answer a call using the speakerphone, press either LINE 1 or LINE 2
(whichever is flashing). The line indicator for the selected line lights.
The indicator for the line in use lights on the base. (Base) and Line 1
or Line 2 appear on the handset's display as a reminder that the line is
in use.
To end a speakerphone call, press LINE 1 (or LINE 2) AGAIN. The line
indicator turns off.
If you receive a call on one line while talking on the other, you hear
three ring tones through the handset (even if you have set RINGER to OFF)
or a low ring on the base if you have set RINGER VOL to HI or LO. Press
the line button for the incoming call's line. The current call is
automatically placed on hold.
If both lines have an incoming call, pressing a key answers the line that
began ringing first.
Setting The Handset Volume
To increase or decrease the handset's volume during a call, press VOL /\
or \/ on the handset. The display shows <Normal>, <Medium>, <High>, or
<Loud>. The setting remains the same even when you hang up the phone.
Note: When you press /\ while the volume is loud or \/ while the volume is
normal, the setting does not change and an error tone sounds.
Adjusting The Speakerphone Volume
To set the speakerphone's volume, press VOL /\ or \/ on the base. The
display shows the volume setting in the range of 1 (lowest) to 10
(highest).
Using Mute
While talking on the speakerphone, you can temporarily turn off the
phone's microphone by pressing MUTE so the other party cannot hear you.
The line indicator for the line you are talking on flashes red when a line
is muted. Press MUTE again to resume your conversation.
Hint: If the phone is close to loud noises while you are using the speaker
phone, the phone might not switch to let you hear the person on the
other end of the line. If this happens, press MUTE to turn off the
microphone so you can hear the caller. Press MUTE again when it is
your turn to speak.
Note: MUTE does not function when the phone is operating on battery power
during power failure.
Using Hold
Press HOLD (CID/HOLD on the handset) to place a call on hold. The
indicator for that line lights red on the base, and (Hold) appears above
the line number on the handset's display. While a call is on hold, you
can temporarily place the handset on the base or use the other phone line
without disconnecting the current call.
To release a line from hold and continue your conversation, press that
line's button on the handset or base. You can also release a call from
hold by lifting the handset if the handset is on the base, or picking up
an extension phone.
You can alternate between the two lines by pressing HOLD then the button
for the desired line.
Notes: Pressing HOLD (or CID/HOLD) again while a call is on hold does not
release the hold. Press the line button that is on hold.
Hold at the base does not function when the phone is operating on
battery power during power failure.
Switching Between The Handset and Speakerphone
To switch to the speakerphone while you are using the handset, press CID/
HOLD on the handset, then press LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the base.
To switch to the handset while you are using the speakerphone, lift the
handset off the base. Or, if the handset is off the base, press HOLD on
the base, then press LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the handset.
Using Both The Handset And Speakerphone
To use the handset to join a call at the base, or to use the base to join
a conversation at the handset, press the line button for the line that is
in use. You hear a busy tone. Before the tone ends, press the line button
again.
During the call, one of you can hang up and the call can continue. To end
the call, you must hang up both the base and handset.
Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise from the base's speaker, the
handset and the base are too close together.
To talk with two parties using both lines, see "4-Way Conferencing" below.
Making A Conference Call
3-Way Conferencing
Follow these steps to use both phone lines to set up a 3-way call. The
procedure is the same for the handset and the base.
1. Place the first call on hold.
2. Make or answer a call on the other line.
3. Once you have the second party on the line, press CONFERENCE (DEL/CONF
on the handset) to bring in the first party. Both line indicators on
the base light green. The handset display shows (Conference) above
Line 1 Line 2 if you are making a conference call using the handset,
or (Conf Base) and Line 1 Line 2 if you are using the speakerphone for
conferencing.
4. To end the conference call, press one line button, then the other. If
you want to hang up one line and continue talking on the other, press
the line button you want to hang up.
If you want to talk on one line without disconnecting the other, press
HOLD or CID/HOLD, then the button for the line you want to talk on. To
return to a 3-way conversation, press CONFERENCE or DEL/CONF.
Note: You cannot make conference calls on the base when the phone operates
on battery power during power failure.
4-Way Conferencing
Follow these steps to use both lines and the phone's intercom function to
set up a four-way call (see "Using the Paging/Intercom Features" below).

on both lines can talk with each other.
3. To answer the page press INTCM/PAUSE on the handset, or INTERCOM on
the base, then press DEL/CONF on the handset or CONFERENCE on the base
To end the conference call, press LINE 1 and LINE 2 on one keypad, then
press LINE 2 on the other keypad.
If you want to hang up one line and continue talking on the other, press
the line button that you want to hang up.
Note: You can also make a conference call using both the phone and an
extension phone. (See "Using the Phone with Extension Phones"
below.)
Using The Phone With Extension Phones
The phone detects when an extension phone is in use, and the corresponding
line indicator flashes on the base and In Use flashes on the handset's
display along with Line 1 or Line 2.
To join the conversation from the handset or base, press the line button
for the line in use. You hear a busy tone. Before the tone ends, press
the line button again.
Note: If you hang up the phone and someone is still on that line on an
extension, the phone's line indicator(s) might not stay lit.
Using Redial
You can quickly dial any of the three last numbers dialed on either line.
Repeatedly press REDIAL on the handset until the desired number appears,
then press LINE 1 or LINE 2.
Notes: The redial memory is common to both lines. You can redial the
number you originally dialed on Line 1 using Line 2.
The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long
distance as well as local numbers.
Using Flash
FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation for
special services, such as Call waiting.
For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH to answer an incoming
call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to return
to the first call.
Note: If you do not have any special 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 by
following these steps.
1. Be sure PULSE-TONE is set to PULSE.
2. Dial the service's main number.
3. When the service answers, press */TONE. Any additional numbers you
dial are sent as tone signals.
4. After you complete the call, the phone automatically resets to the
pulse mode when you hang up.
Using The Paging/Intercom Features
You can use the phone as a two-way pager and intercom between the base and
the handset. This is useful if the handset is away from the base and you
want to locate it, or if you want to have a conversation between the
handset and the base.
To page the handset from the base, press INTERCOM. The handset rings, and
Paging appears on the handset's display and the STATUS indicator on the
base flashes. Press INTCM/PAUSE on the handset to answer the page.
Intercom appears on the handset's display and the STATUS indicator on the
base stays lit.
To page the base from the handset, press INTCM/PAUSE. Paging Base appears,
and the base rings and the STATUS indicator flashes. Press INTERCOM on the
base to answer the page, Intercom appears on the handset's display and the
STATUS indicator on the base stays lit.

INTCM/PAUSE again.
To end an intercom call, press INTCM/PAUSE or INTERCOM.
During a call, you can page someone at either the base or the handset to
join the conversation. Press INTERCOM or INTCM/PAUSE. The current call
is put on hold.
To transfer the call, press INTERCOM or INTCM/PAUSE again when the
person at the base or handset answers.
To start a 3-way call, tell the person at the base or handset to press
the line button for the call, then press the same button twice on your
keypad when they answer the page.
Notes: You cannot page the base or handset if it is already in use. A
busy tone sounds.
If a call comes in during an intercom conversation, either of the
intercom parties can answer the call as they normally would by
pressing the ringing line's button. The intercom call
automatically disconnects.
Using A Headset
You can make or answer calls with hands-free convenience using an optional
headset (available at your local RadioShack store) that has a 3/32-inch
plug.
To connect the headset, pull open the rubber cover marked 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 phone's speakerphone.
VOL /\ / \/ on the handset also controls the connected headset's
volume.
If you place the handset on the base facedown to recharge it while
the headset is connected, be sure the handset seats properly.
With a headset connected, you can make or answer calls as usual, using the
Keys on the handset.
You can use a handset holder (available from your local RadioShack store)
to hang the handset on your belt for greater convenience.
When you finish using the headset, disconnect it from the handset and
close the rubber cover to protect the jack.
Memory Operation
You can store up to 30 numbers in the memory, then dial a stored number by
pressing a two-digit memory location number (or selecting from the list of
stored numbers). You can also store a name with each number in the memory.
Storing A Number In Memory
Note: An error tone sounds and the phone exits the storing process if you
wait more than 20 seconds between key presses.
Each number you store can be up to 20 digits long, and each name can be up
to 13 characters.
1. Lift the handset.
2. Hold down MEM until the handset beeps and Memory Store and a list of
memory location numbers (and names, if any) appear.
3. Select an empty memory location (or the one you want to replace) by
using /\ or \/ to scroll through the list or entering the location
number (01-30). Precede a single-digit number with a 0 (01, for
example).
Note: If the phone sounds five quick beeps, you have made an entry
error and the number was not stored. Re-enter the location
number correctly.
4. Press SELECT. Store Name appears. If you do not want to enter a name,
skip to Step 6. When you review memory numbers, <Memory nn> appears as
the name (nn is the memory location number you selected).
5. To enter a name, use /\ or \/ to select the characters and > or < to
move the cursor.
Repeatedly press \/ to view the characters in alphabetical order. The
display shows uppercase letters first, then lower case letters,
numbers, and special characters.
Press /\ to view the characters in reverse order. You can hold down
\/ or /\ to scroll rapidly through the characters.
If you make a mistake, move the cursor over the error, then enter the
correct character, or press DEL/CONF to delete a character, To delete
all characters, hold down DEL/CONF for at least 1 second.
6. Press SELECT. Store Number appears.
7. Enter the number and any tone and pause entries (see "Using Tone
Services on a Pulse Line," above and "Entering a Pause," below).

seconds, Memory Store appears, and you can repeat Steps 3-8 to store
more numbers.
To replace a stored number, simply store a new one in its place.
Entering a Pause
In some telephone systems, you just 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.
For each 2-second pause you want to enter, press INTCM/PAUSE.
Editing Or Deleting A Number In Memory
1. Lift the handset.
2. Hold down MEM until the handset beeps and Memory Store and a list of
memory location numbers (and names, if any) appears.

of the number. Repeatedly press < to return to the name display.
To exit the memory number list, press MEM.
To see a stored name and phone number at the same time, press SELECT when
the cursor is by a memory location number. To exit this display, hold
down DEL/CONF until the display clears.
Dialing A Memory Number
To dial a number stored in the memory, lift the handset from the base and
press MEM. The list of the first three memory location numbers appears.
Choose a memory location (01-30) by pressing number keys or by repeatedly
pressing /\ or \/, then pressing LINE 1 or LINE 2. The phone automatically
dials the number.
Note: You can also press LINE 1 or LINE 2 first, then choose a memory
number 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.
