CORDLESS PHONE BASICS
MAKING A CALL
To make a call:
Press the TALK/CALLBACK button before you dial.
Press TALK/CALLBACK button or place the handset in the base to
hang up.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should
have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in
your home goes out.
REDIAL
Press the redial button to redial the last number you called (up to 32
digits).
If you get a busy signal, and want to keep dialing the number, press TALK/
CALLBACK to turn off the phone. Press TALK/CALLBACK again to turn it
back on. Then press redial to dial the number.
RECEIVING A CALL
To answer a call you must press the TALK/CALLBACK button on the
handset before you can talk.
FLASH
Use the flash/program button to activate custom calling services such
as call waiting or call transfer, which are available through your local
phone company.
TIP: Don't use the TALK/CALLBACK button to activate custom calling
services such as call waiting, or you’ll hang up the phone.
VOLUME
When the phone is ON, press the CID/VOL left (-) and right (+) arrow
buttons to adjust the handset volume. There are four settings. VOL 1 is the
lowest level and VOL 4 is the loudest.
