Using the Secrecy button

During a call, you may want to say
something to another person nearby
without your caller hearing you.

Press the 

SECRECY

button. The

TALK

light flashes. You can hear

the caller, but they cannot hear
you.

Every 7 seconds the handset
beeps to let you know a call is 
on hold.

Press the 

SECRECY

button again

to resume your conversation. The

TALK

light stops flashing.

SECRECY

Paging the handset

You can page the handset from the
base unit to let the handset user
know they are wanted. You cannot
hold a conversation between the
base unit and the handset.

To page the handset

Press the 

PAGE

button on the

base unit. Both the handset and
the base unit will ring.

Your Freestyle 90 automatically
returns to standby after
approximately one minute.

PAGE

You cannot page the handset while it is

being used on a call. 

An incoming call will override a page

call and the handset will ring as

normal.

When the handset ringer volume is set

to the minimum position, the handset

will not ring. The base unit will not

ring if the ringer volume is set to 

OFF

.
