Using Special Features
Using Your Phone During a Power Failure
Because it includes a corded handset, your phone can perform
several of its functions during a power failure. The following features
will operate during a power failure (all other features are disabled):
Making and receiving calls with the base corded handset.
Changing the volume on the corded handset.
Using Call Waiting on a base corded handset call.
Entering pauses when dialing from the base corded handset.
While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you
cannot adjust the volume of this ringer.
Using Do Not Disturb
The Do Not Disturb or DND feature turns off the ringers of the
base and all handsets at the same time.
With the phone in standby, press and hold
DO NOT DISTURB
on the
base. The phone automatically turns on the answering system and
shows
Do Not Disturb
in the display on all stations.
To cancel, press
DO NOT DISTURB
again.
If you turn the answering system off while DND is on, the phone
turns off DND along with the answering system.
Using Call Block
If you subscribe to Caller ID, you can save phone numbers to the call
block list. When a call comes in, the phone compares the received
phone number to the numbers on the call block list. If the phone
number is on the list, the phone replaces the caller's name with
Call
Blocked
and disconnects the call. (The caller hears a reject tone.)
The call block list holds 20 entries, and all stations share the same
list. You can add entries through the
Call Blocking
menu, by selecting
Add Call Block
in the CID menu, or by blocking incoming calls. (Only
one station can edit the call block list at a time.)
Blocking incoming calls
When the phone rings, wait until the display shows the Caller ID
information (usually after the second ring). If you want to block the
