BASIC OPERATION
Telephone Operation
Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a
certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or ofce.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press TALK. Move closer to the base, then press TALK to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve
reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left off the hook. To hang up properly,
walk back into range, periodically pressing OFF.
Temporary Tone Dialing
If you have pulse (rotary) service, you can change from pulse dialing to touch tone dialing during a
call by pressing * TONE. This is useful if you need to send touch tone signals for access to telephone
banking or long distance services.
1. Dial the number.
2. Press
*
TONE. Buttons pressed after this send touch tone signals.
3. After you hang up, the phone automatically returns to pulse service.
Call Forward
An external call can be forwarded from one handset (HS1) to the other handset (HS2).
1. While on a call, press
SELECT on HS1 to forward the call to HS2. HS1 will display: CALL
TRANSFERRED. HS2 will ring and show: TRANSFERRED CALL.
2. Press any key except OFF on HS2 to answer the forwarded call. HS1 will return to the idle screen.
• Only one handset of
your phone system can
be in use (off hook) at
a time. For example,
if HS1 is on a call and
HS2 presses TALK,
CAN’T CONNECT will
display.
• For clearer reception
while on a call, press
the CHAN button until
the interference has
been eliminated.
• If HS2 cannot be found,
HS1 will generate a sad
tone and continue the
call automatically. Before
HS2 answers, HS1 can
press
TALK to cancel
the forward function and
continue the external call.
• If HS2 does not respond
to a forwarded call
within 30 seconds, HS1
will ring until
TALK is
pressed to pick up
the call. If HS1 doesn’t
answer within another
30 seconds, the call will
end automatically.
