Making/Answering a Call

Using the Handset At the Base

You can use the handset at the base like a regular corded telephone.  Just
set POWER to ON  and place the handset on the base.  To answer or make a
call, just lift the handset from the base.

To disconnect a call, replace the handset on the base.

Using the Handset Away From the Base

To use the handset away from the base, set POWER to ON and press TALK to
make or answer a call.  The TALK/LOW BATT indicator lights.  For the best
reception, fully extend the base's antenna vertically.

To disconnect a call, press TALK/LOW BATT so the TALK indicator turns off.

NOTES:  You can turn off the handset's power when you are not using the
        phone to conserve battery power.  If you hear another phone on the
        same line ringing, set POWER to ON and press TALK to answer the
        phone.

        You can make or answer a call on a phone on the same line as the
        cordless phone, even if the handset is away from the base.
        However, the handset's TALK/LOW BATT indicator must be off.

        If you press a number and three short beeps sound, you are out of
        the base's range, the battery is too low, or there is too much
        interference on the line.  Move the handset closer to the base or
         recharge the battery, if necessary.

REDIAL

To quickly redial the last number you dialed, simply lift the handset from
the base or press TALK again so the TALK/LOW BATT indicates or lights,
then press REDIAL.

NOTES:  We recommend you do not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a 
        a TONE entry (see "USING TONE Services on a Pulse Line").

        The redial memory does not store a FLASH entry or any digits
        entered after you press FLASH.

USING FLASH

Use FLASH on the handset 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:  If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH
        might disconnect the current call.

        The redial memory does not store a FLASH entry or any digits
        entered after you press FLASH.

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 special tone services by
following these steeps.

1.  Be sure TONE/PULSE on the base 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 base or press
    TALK to disconnect the call.  The phone automatically resets to pulse
    mode.

NOTE:  We recommend you do not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a
       TONE entry.

USING PAGE

PAGE allows someone at the base to page you at the handset.  With the
handset's power on and its TALK/LOW BATT indicator off, the handset beeps
five times when someone presses PAGE on the base.

NOTE:  The handset will not beep during a call.

USING PAUSE

Some telephone systems require you to dial an access code (9, for example)
and wait for a second dial tone before you dial an outside number.  During
redial, each PAUSE entry makes your phone pause 2 seconds to allow time
for the outside line to connect.
