The sections in this introductory chapter help you become fa-

1.3 Knowing Your Digital Wireless Telephone
Your digital wireless telephone consists of the following items:
•
a base unit that is connected to a digital station port on
your telephone system,
•
a wireless handset that gives you the freedom to use your
telephone as you move around your work area,
•
an AC adapter that powers your base unit,
•
a rechargeable battery pack that powers the wireless hand-
set.
•
optional accessories such as a headset, battery charging
stand, and extended-life battery pack.
Because the handset is wireless, you are not confined to your
desk or wherever you’ve located the base unit. This freedom
allows you to carry on a telephone conversation and still be
free to do other things. If you should wander out of range while
on a call, you will lose voice contact with your party but your
handset will keep its display and status lights active for approx-
imately 20 seconds. During this 20 second time period, you can
step back in range and resume your conversation. After this ap-
proximate 20 second time period, the handset’s display shows
NO SERVICE, the handset sounds three tone bursts, and the
telephone drops the call.
Your digital wireless telephone is easy to use and provides you
with ready access to many useful communications features.
CAUTION
Your digital wireless telephone contains special purpose circuitry
that allows it to interface directly to a Comdial digital telephone
system. Because of this special design, do not connect your digi-
tal wireless telephone to a telephone company central office jack
that is designed for industry-standard telephones.
