Basic Operation
Note:
If the LINE 1 or LINE 2 indicator
flashes, someone is using that line at
the base or on an extension phone.
Press the other line button.
To end a call, press
LINE 1
or
LINE 2
on
the handset or place the handset on the
base.
ANSWERING A CALL
When a call comes in, the line indicator
for that line flashes.
Note:
To help you tell which line is ring-
ing, each line has a distinctive ring tone.
To answer a call using the handset, lift
the handset from the base and press the
line button for the line that is ringing. If
the handset is away from the base,
press any key to answer a call.
To answer a call using the speaker-
phone, press either
LINE 1
or
LINE 2
(whichever is flashing). The indicator for
the line in use lights on the base. The in-
dicator for the same line flashes on the
handset as a reminder that the line is in
use.
To end a speakerphone call, press
LINE
1
(or
LINE 2
) again. The line indicator
turns off.
If you receive a call on one line while
talking on the other, you hear the base
ring and three ring tones through the
handset (or a low ring on the base when
using the speakerphone) if you have set
RING VOL
to
HI
or
LO
. Press the line but-
ton for the incoming call’s line. The cur-
rent call is automatically placed on hold.
If both lines have an incoming call,
pressing a key answers the line that be-
gan ringing first.
SETTING THE HANDSET
VOLUME
You can adjust the handset’s volume to
any of four settings (low, mid, high, max-
imum). To change the handset’s volume
during a call, repeatedly press
VOLUME
on the handset. The setting remains the
same even when you hang up the
phone.
ADJUSTING THE
SPEAKERPHONE
VOLUME
To set the speakerphone’s volume,
press
VOLUME
ù
or
ø
on the base.
The display shows the volume setting in
the range of
1
(lowest) to
10
(highest).
USING MUTE
While talking on the speakerphone, you
can temporarily turn off the phone’s mi-
crophone by pressing
MUTE
so the other
party cannot hear you. The indicator for
a muted line flashes red. Press
MUTE
again to resume your conversation.
Hint:
If the phone is close to loud noises
while you are using the speakerphone,
the phone might not switch to let you
hear the person on the other end of the
line. If this happens, press
MUTE
to turn
off the microphone so you can hear the
caller. Press
MUTE
again when it is your
turn to speak.
