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.
