Passcodes
Passcodes are provided to prevent easily confused end users from altering the
settings of the phone after a caregiver has congured it for them.
Your unit has two factory set passcodes, one for editing or changing unit set-
tings and one for adding/editing phonebook records. Both default passcodes are
“0000”. You have the option to disable both (default), keep both, or keep one
based on your individual preferences.
To edit passcode functionality, press the “Settings” icon on your screen. If the
icon is not displayed, press “Menu” in the lower right corner of your screen, then
press “Settings”.
To turn on the passcode(s), touch the “OFF” button – it changes to “ON”. The
default passcode(s) are set to 0000.
To change passcode(s) – if you choose to have active passcodes – touch the ar-
rows next to the text “Change settings passcode” and/or “Change phonebook
passcode” – enter your custom passcodes. Please write down your passcodes and
save them for future reference.
Talking CID
Talking Caller ID (available only if you have caller ID with your phone service)
This feature will pronounce the digits of the phone number when you have an
incoming call (if available). If the phone number is saved in your phonebook and
the entry has a voice tag, the voice tag you recorded will be played (instead of the
digits of the phone number)
o Toggle feature on or off by touching the “ON/OFF” button.
o You can read either the voice tag or the phone number.
If you select “Read voice tags only” and the incoming call phone number does
not have a voice tag associated with it, the phone will pronounce the digits in
the phone number.
