Terminology
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the terminology
explanation.
• Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, off the base, and talk has not been pressed. A dial
tone is not present.
• Talk Mode - The handset is off the base and talk has been pressed enabling a dial tone.
Adjusting the Ringer and Earpiece Volume
Ringer tone
When the phone is in standby mode, pressing the v key on the handset selects the handset ringer
tone. There are two ringer tones. Continue pressing the v key to listen to all tones. The phone keeps
the last ringer tone setting selected.
Earpiece volume
The handset earpiece volume settings (Low, Medium and High) can only be adjusted during a call.
Press v repeatedly to select Low, Medium and High. When you hang up, the phone keeps the last
volume setting selected.
Ringer Mute
The end key can be used to temporarily mute the ringer tone. When the handset is off the base and
the phone is ringing, press the end key and the ringer tone will be temporarily silenced. The ringer
tone will return to normal starting with the next incoming call.
Tone Dialing Switch-over
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing
(sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits,
you can switch-over to tone dialing during the call. For example, entering your
bank account number after you have called your bank.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects,
press
*
/tone. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone
dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is
referred to as Chain Dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode
resumes.
NOTE: The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
Traveling Out-of-Range
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you
pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within 5 minutes.
