Telephone Operation
Note:
This owner's manual primarily explains
the operation using the handset. You can
also use a headset or the speakerphone.
USING A HEADSET
You can talk with hands-free convenience
using an optional headset (not supplied) that
has a modular type plug or
3
/
32
-inch (2.5 mm)
sub-mini plug. Contact your local
RadioShack store for a suitable headset.
If your headset has a modular plug, connect
it directly to the modular jack with the head-
set mark on the left side of the base.
To connect the headset with a sub-mini plug,
first plug in the supplied headset jack adapt-
er (sub-mini to modular converter) into the
modular jack, then plug the headset into this
headset jack adapter.
Press
HEADSET
to answer or end a call.
While the headset conversation is in
progress, the headset indicator on the button
lights red.
Switching Between the Headset
and Speakerphone
To switch from the speakerphone to the
headset, press
HEADSET
. To switch from the
headset to the speakerphone, simply press

MAKING CALLS
To make a call, lift the handset. Press a line
that is not in use. Then dial the number. The
number appears on the base’s display as
you dial, then (after a few seconds) the call's
elapsed time appears.
Selecting a Line
You can select the lines automatically or
manually. When you lift the handset or press
SPEAKER
or
HEADSET
, you automatically get
the first available line. The line indicator on
your station lights green, and the indicator for
the same line lights red at other stations.
The priority of lines is set in numerical order.
LINE 1
has priority over
LINE 2
,
LINE 3
and
LINE 4
. If
LINE 1
is in use, you get
LINE 2
as
you lift the handset. If
LINE 1
and
LINE 2
are
in use, you get
LINE 3

at the same time and you lift the handset, the
same line priority applies.
To manually select a desired line, lift the
handset and press the desired
LINE

• An error beep sounds when you select
the line button of a call in use where pri-

beep and
