Telephone Operation
Options while on calls
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.
After you hang up or press PHONE/FLASH to access
services with your local telephone service provider, the
phone automatically returns to dial pulse (rotary) ser-
vice.
3-way conference calls
During a call, someone at the base or another handset
can join in the conversation.
On the cordless handset: Press PHONE/FLASH to
join a conversation begun at the base.
At the base: Lift the handset (or press SPEAKER)
to join a conversation begun at the cordless handset.
You can also page the other parts of the system and ask
another user to join the call.
From a cordless handset: Press HOLD, then press
INTERCOM/DELETE.
From the telephone base: Press HOLD, then press
INTERCOM/CID DEL.
Anyone at a cordless handset or telephone base can
either join the call, (by pressing PHONE/FLASH or
SPEAKER,) or talk to you first, (by answering the
page), and then decide whether to join the call. When
another user joins the call, the intercom call is termi-
nated.
NOTE: Only one cordless handset and the base can be on a confer-
ence call. If one cordless handset is on a call and the other cordless handset
attempts to join the call, its screen will display OTHER HANDSET ON and
then OR OUT OF RANGE.
