Terminology
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the
terminology explanation.
• Talk Mode - The handset is off the base and the talk key has been pressed, enabling a
dial tone.
• Standby Mode - The handset may be sitting in or off the base, but is NOT in use. The
talk key has not been pressed and there is no dial tone.
Adjusting the Ringer and Earpiece Volume
Ringer tone
When the phone is in standby mode, press the v/ /vol key repeatedly to listen to the two
ringer tone options. The last ringer tone selected/heard will be the phone’s ring tone setting.
Earpiece volume
The handset earpiece volume settings (Low, Medium and High) can only be adjusted during
a call. Press the v/ /vol key repeatedly to scroll between and select the volume level that
works best for you. When you hang up, the phone keeps the volume setting.
Temporarily Mute Ringer
If the handset is off the base, simply press the end key to temporarily mute the incoming
ring. The ringer will sound with the next incoming call.
Redial
The redial/pause key redials the last number dialed.
The redialed number can be up to 24 digits long.
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.
This feature is useful when you need tone dialing to use automated
systems, 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 the
/tone key. 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.
Selecting a Different Channel
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the phone’s
channel for clear operation. This function works only when the phone is in use.
Press the channel key. The talk/batt low LED flashes, indicating the phone is changing to
another channel. For more information on interference, refer to “Precautions”.
