Telephone Operation
Options while on calls
To adjust volume
Press VOLUME buttons on the handset or the base to
adjust listening volume. Each button press raises or
lowers volume by one level. Press OK to save the
current setting for future calls.
Call waiting
If you have Call Waiting service, you will hear a beep if
someone calls while you are already on a call. Press the
FLASH button for the line in use to put your current call
on hold and take the new call. You can press FLASH at
any time to switch back and forth between calls.
Ring silencing
Press OFF while the phone is ringing to silence the ringer.
You can still answer, or let the caller leave a message.
Switching between lines
During a handset call, if you answer an incoming call on
another line, the line previously in use will be placed on
hold. You can press L1/L2 at any time to switch to the
call on the other line without dropping either call.
During a base call, you must press HOLD before making
or answering a call on another line. Example:
1 Make or answer a call, then press HOLD.
2 Press L1 or L2 to select the unused line, then
depress the switchhook or press SPEAKERPHONE to
make or answer a call on the other line.
4 To return to the first call, hang up, press L1 or L2 to
select the original line, then pick up the base handset
or press SPEAKERPHONE.
Temporary tone dialing
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you can switch to
touch tone dialing during a call by pressing *. This
can be useful if you need to send tone signals for access
to answering systems or long-distance services.
