ET-475 (430-0572B) Operation Faxback Doc. # 7328 MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL To make and answer calls, set POWER to ON. For best reception, fully extend the antennas on the base and handset, and place the base's antenna in a vertical position. If the handset is on the cradle, lift the handset to make or answer a call. If the handset is away from the cradle, press TALK/HANGUP. The TALK/HANGUP indicator lights. To disconnect a call, place the handset on the cradle, or press TALK/HANGUP. The TALK/HANGUP indicator turns off. Notes: If you can hear the ringer of another phone on the same line, you can set POWER to OFF when the handset is away from the base. This conserves battery power. When you hear the other phone ring, set POWER to ON and press TALK/HANGUP to answer the call. When you press a button, a tone sounds to show that the phone accepted the command. Or, three error tones sound to show that you pressed a button in error, you are out of range, or there is too much interference. USING REDIAL Follow these steps to quickly redial the last number you dialed. 1. Return the handset to the cradle or press TALK/HANGUP to disconnect the call. 2. Lift the handset or press TALK/HANGUP, and listen for a dial tone. 3. Press REDIAL/PAUSE. The redial memory holds up to 16 digits, so you can redial long-distance numbers as well as local numbers. The redial memory also holds LDT and pause entries. See "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line and Entering a Pause" under "Memory Dialing." 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 the 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 MODE is set to PULSE. 2. Dial the service's main number. 3. When the service answers, press # LDT. Then, dial the additional numbers. The phone sends these numbers by tone signal. 4. When you complete the call, place the handset on the cradle or press TALK HANGUP to disconnect the call. The phone automatically resets to pulse mode. Note: We recommend you not use the redial feature for numbers that include an LDT 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 30 phone numbers in memory. Each number you store can be up to 16 digits long. Store high-priority numbers, such as numbers for emergency services, in Locations M1, M2, or M3. You can then dial these numbers by pressing a single button. Store up to 27 additional numbers in Locations 01-27. You can then dial these numbers by pressing MEMORY followed by the correct two-digit, memory-location code. Storing a Number in Memory Follow these steps to store a number in memory. 1. Be sure MODE is set for the type of service you have and be sure the TALK/HANGUP indicator is off. 2. Press STORE. The TALK/HANGUP indicator lights, and two tones sound. Note: The STORE button is recessed to prevent you from accidentally pressing it. 3. Enter the phone number, including any pause and LDT entries, See "Entering a Pause" and Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line." Note: Each pause or LDT entry uses 1 digit of memory. 4. Press M1, M2 or M3. Or, press MEMORY followed by a two-digit, memory- location code (01-27). This stores the number in one of the memory locations. Notes: If you receive a call while you are storing a number in memory, press TALK/HANGUP 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 Location M1, M2, or M3, press STORE. Then, press M1, M2 or M3. To delete a number from Locations 01-27, press STORE. Then, press MEMORY followed by the two-digit, memory-location code (01-27). Entering a Pause In 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 REDIAL/PAUSE to enter a 2-second pause. For a longer pause, press REDIAL/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/HANGUP. 2. When you hear a dial tone, press M1, M2, or M3. Or, press MEMORY followed by the two-digit, memory-location code (01-27). Testing Stored Emergency Numbers If you store the number of an emergency service (Police department, fire department, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored number, remain on the line to explain the reason for your call. Make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid periods of peak demand. 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 another memory location). First, memory-dial the service's main number. When the service answers; memory-dial the additional information. Notes: If you have pulse service, be sure you store an LDT 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. (br/all-8/11/94)
