MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL

To make and answer calls, set RINGER to LO or HI.  For best reception,
fully extend the base's antenna and position it vertically.

If the handset is on the cradle and RINGER is set to LO or HI, lift the
handset to make  or answer a call.  If the handset is away from the
cradle, press TALK/HANG-UP.  The IN USE indicator on the base lights.

To disconnect a call, place the handset on the cradle, or press
TALK/HANG-UP.  The IN USE indicator turns off.

Adjust VOLUME to control the volume of the sound you hear through the
handset.

Notes:  If you can hear the ringer of another phone on the same line, you
        can set RINGER to POWER OFF when the handset is away from the
        base.  This conserves battery power.  When you hear the other
        phone ring, set RINGER to LO or HI and press TALK/HANG-UP to
        answer the call.

        The dial stays lit for about 5 seconds after you end a call.

        When you press a button, a single tone indicates that the phone
        accepted the command.  Three tones indicate that you pressed a
        button in error, you are out of range, or there is too much
        interference.  (You do not hear these tones if RINGER is set to
        POWER-OFF.)

REDUCING INTERFERENCE

To reduce interference, press CH to switch to the next channel.

This interrupts the call for about 3 seconds while the handset and base
establish communication in the new channel.  Then the handset sounds two
tones (if RINGER is set to HI or LO), and your call resumes.

Notes:  If interference is severe, the handset sounds three tones (if
        RINGER is set to HI or LO) to indicate that it cannot communicate
        with the base.  Before you press any key, move closer to the base.

        If the battery is low or interference is severe, the handset might
        lose communication with the base and the call might disconnect
        when you press CH.  This does not happen often, but if it does,
        return the handset to the cradle for about 5 seconds.

USING REDIAL

To quickly redial the last number dialed, simply press REDIAL.

The redial memory holds up to 16 digits, so you can redial long-distance
as well as local numbers.

The redial memory also holds PAUSE entries.

PAGING

When you press PAGE on the base, the handset sounds a tone.  You can use
this feature to page someone in another part of the house or to help you
locate the handset when it is away from the cradle.  Each time you press
PAGE, the PAGE/IN USE indicator lights, and if RINGER is set to HI, the
keypad lights.

Notes:  The RINGER switch controls the pager's volume.  If you set RINGER
        to POWER OFF, the pager does not sound.

        During a call, the paging tone's volume is lower than when a call
        is not in progress.

USING THE PRIVACY FEATURE

Press and hold down PRIVACY if you do not want the person on the other end
of the phone line to hear you as you talk to someone in the room with you.
You can still hear the person on the other end of the phone line.  Release
PRIVACY to resume your phone conversation.

USING FLASH

Use FLASH to perform the switchhook operation for special services such as
call waiting.

For example, If you have call waiting, press FLASH to take an incoming
call without disconnecting the current call.  Press FLASH again to return
to the first call.

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

        If you do not have any special phone 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.
Follow 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, then dial the additional
    numbers.  The phone sends these numbers as tone signals.

4.  When you complete the call, place the handset on the cradle or press
    TALK/HANG-UP to disconnect the call.  The phone automatically resets
    to pulse mode.

Note:  We recommend that you not use the redial feature for numbers that
       include a TONE entry.  The 2-second pause following the mode change
       might not be long enough to allow the special service to answer.

MEMORY DIALING

You can store up to 30 telephone numbers in memory.  You can then dial a
stored number by entering a two-digit, memory-location code.

Storing a Number in Memory

Follow these steps to store a number (up to 16 digits long) in memory. 

1.  Be sure PULSE-TONE is set for the type of service you have.  

2.  Press STORE.  Two tones sound.

    Note:  The STORE button is recessed to prevent you from accidentally
           pressing it.

3.  Enter the phone number, including any PAUSE or TONE entries.

    Note:  Each PAUSE or TONE entry uses 1 digit of memory.

4.  Press MEMORY.

5.  Press a two-digit number from 01 to 30 to assign a memory-location
    code.

    Two tones sound to confirm that the number was stored.

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 2 to store the number.

        For each stored number, write the person's or company's name next
        to the appropriate location number on the MEMORY directory.  Use a
        pencil in case you later store a different number.

        To delete a number from memory, repeat the steps in "Storing a
        Number in Memory" but do not enter a phone number (skip Step 3).

Entering a Pause

With 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.

If your phone is connected to one of these systems, you might want to
enter a pause at the appropriate point when you store a phone number in
memory.  Press PAUSE to enter a 2-second pause.  For a longer pause, press
PAUSE additional times.

Dialing a Stored Number

Follow these steps to dial a number stored in memory.

1.  Lift the handset from the cradle or press TALK/HANG-UP.

2.  When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY.

3.  Enter the memory-location code for the number you are dialing.

When storing emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency
numbers:

  Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason
  for the call before you hang up 

  Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as late evening or
  early morning.

Storing/Chain-Dialing Special Service Numbers

When you store special services such as alternate long-distance or
bank-by phone).  We recommend you store the service's phone number
in one memory location and store additional information (such as the
long-distance number) in an other memory location.

To memory-dial a special service, press MEMORY and the memory-location
code for the service's main number.  When the service answers, press
MEMORY and the memory-location code for the additional information.

Notes:  If you have pulse service, be sure you store a TONE entry at the
        end of the service's main number.

        If the service requires a personal identification number, manually
        dial the number at the appropriate time.  To prevent unauthorized
        access to the special service, we recommend you not store your
        personal identification number in memory.
