Handset Operation
Handsfree Speakerphone Operation
Your GIGAPHONE handset has a built-in handsfree speakerphone. This feature allows
you to stand the Handset upright on a table or desktop and have handsfree conversations.
For more information, refer to MAKING CALLS in HANDSET.
Line in Use Indication
On the Handset :
When the telephone line is currently being
used by a GIGAPHONE Handset, a status
message similar to this will display on idle
Handset(s):
When the telephone line is currently being
used by a parallel set (a telephone device
other than the GIGAPHONE on the same
line); the phone icon will remain on
steadily, and EXTENSION IN USE will
be displayed.
Low Battery Indication
When a low battery is detected, the Battery icon will flash and a warning beep is played.
The status message LOW BATTERY will also be displayed when the Handset is in
idle mode. To prevent an unexpected call drop, a drained Handset battery should be
replaced by a fully charged spare battery.
Message Waiting Indication
The GIGAPHONE is compatible with optional voicemail service provided by some local
telephone companies. If you subscribe to this service, and you have new, unplayed
messages in your voicemail, a Visual Message Waiting Indicator (VMWI) signal is
transmitted by your local telephone company.
The GIGAPHONE will detect a VMWI signal and activate Visual Message Waiting
alerts both on the Base Unit and Handset.
After you check your messages, the Message Waiting indicators will automatically turn
off.
Please note that whenver new, unplayed messages are stored in your voicemail, the local
Telephone Company will continue to send a VMWI signal.
Advanced Operations
NOTE: The visual MESSAGE WAITING feature requires a signal from your
local telephone company called
FSK (Frequency Shift Keying). Not all
local phone companies can provide this signal. The audible stutter dial tone
alone will not activate the Message Waiting feature on this telephone. Please
check with your local service provider if the
FSK signal is available in your
area.
