Telephone Operation
Basic cordless handset operation
Making and answering calls
To answer an incoming call, press
PHONE/FLASH (or
any key except OFF/CLEAR, CIDV or ^DIR). If you have
Caller ID service, the caller’s number and/or name will
appear on the display screen after the first or second
ring (see page 29 for Caller ID features and options).
To make a call, press PHONE/FLASH, then dial a number.
Press OFF/CLEAR or place in charger, (Auto Off,) to
hang up.
To preview numbers before dialing, enter numbers first,
then press PHONE/FLASH to dial. Press CIDV anytime
to make corrections when entering numbers.
NOTE: Only one cordless handset or one cordless handset and the
base can be on a call at a time. If the other cordless handset attempts to join a
call, its screen will display OTHER HANDSET ON and then OR OUT OF
RANGE.
Last number redial
Press REDIAL/PAUSE on the handset to display the
last number called (up to 32 digits). To dial the num-
ber displayed, press PHONE/FLASH. You can also
press PHONE/FLASH and then REDIAL/PAUSE to dial
the last number called without previewing it.
To delete this number, press REDIAL/PAUSE twice. This will
clear the redial memory and leave it blank.
Ring silencing
The handset ringer can be temporarily turned off by
pressing OFF/CLEAR during incoming ringing. You can
answer the call, or let the caller leave a message. This will
silence the ringer without disconnecting the call. If your
answering system is on, the caller will be asked to leave a
message (see page 36). The next call will ring normally.
NOTE: Pressing OFF/CLEAR on a handset will only temporarily
silence the ringer on that handset. The other cordless handset and telephone
base will continue to ring normally.
