 OUT-OF-RANGE  SIGNAL

If three beeps are heard immediately after the TALK switch is pressed, the
handset is too far away from the base.  The handset and TALK indicator will
automatically turn off.  Move closer to the base and then try your call again.

 PAGE/FIND

The person using the handset away from the base, such as
in the yard, can be signalled (paged) by someone at the
base. To page someone at the handset location,  press the
PAGE/FIND button for one second and the handset will
beep. To find a misplaced handset around your home,
press PAGE/FIND for at least 5 seconds; the handset will
then beep for 30 seconds, giving you time to locate the
handset. When handset is found, press TALK to eliminate
PAGE signal.

 POWER FAILURE RESET

After a power failure in your home (or any time you unplug your phone
from AC power and then reconnect it), you must return the cordless handset
to the base for about thirty seconds.  This automatically resets the matching
digital security codes.

    PULSE/TONE SWITCH

Your Cobra INTENNA cordless phone can be used with
any phone system because it is switchable from pulse to
tone dialing (see switch on side of the base) depending
on which service you are using.  Mixed PULSE and
TONE dialing may be used (to access certain long-
distance or computerized banking services, for example)
by selecting PULSE with the base switch and then using
the       button on the handset to temporarily switch to
TONE dialing.  Hanging up resets to PULSE.

    RINGER SWITCH

The OFF/ON switch (located on the handset) controls your
cordless handset’s electronic ringer; no ring will sound in
the OFF position.

   

  SECUR-LOC

®

This exclusive Cobra electronic circuitry is an added security measure to
protect your phone line from being accidentally accessed by a neighbor's
cordless phone. Secur-Loc activates automatically every time your cordless
handset is placed into its base.
