ET-210 (430-0623) Operation Faxback Doc. # 6236 MAKING A CALL 1. Lift the handset or press SPKRPHONE. 2. Dial the desired number. The telephone displays the number. 3. Proceed with your conversation. 4. To end the call, return the handset to the cradle or, if you used the speakerphone, press SPKRPHONE. ANSWERING A CALL When the telephone rings, lift the handset or press SPKRPHONE and begin your conversation. If you use the speakerphone, adjust the speaker's volume to a comfortable level. SWITCHING BETWEEN THE HANDSET AND THE SPEAKERPHONE To switch from the handset to the speakerphone during a call, press SPKRPHONE. Then return the handset to the cradle. To switch from the speakerphone to the handset during a call, simply lift the handset. NOTES FOR USING THE SPEAKERPHONE When you are using the speakerphone, only one person can talk at a time. The person who speaks first has priority. When the first person finishes speaking, the telephone automatically switches so the other person can talk. If there is a high noise level near your telephone, the telephone might not switch when you finish speaking. If this happens, press PRIVACY when you complete your side of the conversation. The microphone turns off so you can listen to the other person. Of course, you must press PRIVACY again to release it when you want to talk. USING * AND # You use * and # in tone mode with some special services. Check with your telephone company or any special service, such as bank-by-phone, for the functions of these buttons. Note: * and # have no function in the pulse mode. PAUSE In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before you dial an outside number. When you manually dial a number you might later redial, or when you store a number in memory, you can have this telephone pause anywhere during the dialing sequence. Simply press SPACE/PAUSE at the desired location. When you redial or memory dial a number, the telephone pauses for about 2 seconds where you pressed SPACE/PAUSE at the desired location. When you redial or memory dial a number, the telephone pauses for about 2 seconds where you pressed SPACE/PAUSE. For longer pauses, press SPACE/PAUSE twice, the telephone pauses for about 4 seconds. Each pause entry counts as one digit in memory. REDIAL You can dial the last number called by pressing DIAL/REDIAL. The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so it can save long-distance as well as local numbers. If you dial more than 32 digits, the telephone stores only those digits you dialed after the 32nd digit for tone mode or before the 33rd digit for pulse mode. If you redial a number that contains a pause entry, the telephone pauses for 2 seconds at the entry. If you redial a number that has an LDT entry, the telephone switches from pulse mode to tone mode at that entry, pauses about 1 second, then continues dialing. AUTO-REDIAL This telephone has a special redial feature that allows you to have the telephone automatically redial a busy or unanswered number up to ten times. This feature uses the speakerphone so you can monitor the dialing progress. 1. After dialing a busy or unanswered number, hang up the phone. 2. Press AUTO. The telephone displays AUTO 15. Then, press DIAL/REDIAL to start the auto-redial sequence. The telephone dials the number, then waits 15 seconds for someone to answer. The telephone then waits 30 seconds between dialing attempts. Note: If you want the telephone to wait 30 seconds for someone to answer the phone, before pressing DIAL/REDIAL to start the Auto-redial sequence, press AUTO an additional time so the display shows AUTO 30. 3. When the called phone begins to ring, you hear the ringing through the speakerphone. When the person you are calling answers, press SPKRPHONE or lift the handset to begin the conversation. If you do not lift the handset or press SPKRPHONE, the telephone hangs up and dials the telephone number again. Note: Be sure to cancel the auto-redial feature by lifting and returning the handset if you are going to be away from the phone. If you are not there to take the call when the called person answers, the telephone hangs up and dials the number again. This can be very annoying for the person you have called. And, if the number is a long distance call, you are charged for each call. FLASH Many special telephone services require a 0.7 second switchhook signal. FLASH provides the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation. For example, if you have call waiting (a special service available from some telephone companies), you can put a call on hold and take a second incoming call on the same line by pressing FLASH. Pressing FLASH again allows you to alternate between the two calls. You cannot store the FLASH command into a directory entry. Also, the telephone does not store the FLASH entry in redial memory. Note: If you do not subscribe to a special service that uses the switchhook signal, do not press FLASH during a call or your call might be disconnected. PRIVACY If you do not want the person you called to hear you (if you are talking with someone else at your location while talking on the telephone), press PRIVACY. PRIVACY appears in your telephone's display and the microphone is turned off without ending the call. Press PRIVACY again to resume your conversation. You can still hear the person on the other end of the line when you have turned on PRIVACY. USING TONE SERVICES WITH A PULSE LINE Some special services, such as alternate long-distance and bank-by-phone, require tone signals for communication. If you have pulse service, you can still use special tone services by following these steps. 1. Connect to the special service using pulse dialing. 2. When the special service answers, press LDT. 3. Follow the normal procedure for the special service you are using. Any additional numbers you dial are as touch-tone signals. The telephone returns to the pulse mode when you hang up. The LDT entry counts as one digit in memory. Note: LDT has no function when you have set TONE/PULSE to TONE. (rlr-04/04/94)
