” continues to

unit.

•

The handset is engaged in an outside
call or is viewing the Caller List/directory
list. Wait until the IN USE/CHARGE
indicator light goes out.

•

If the last number dialed was more than
32 digits long, the number will not be
redialed correctly.

•

Access numbers entered after pressing

(TONE)

will not be included when

redialing.

•

The button has a double function as
either redial or pause. It will redial the
last number dialed if pressed at the
outset of a call (p. 20). If another
number has been dialed first, it will
operate as a pause button (p. 44).

•

Charge the battery fully (p. 12).

•

Clean the charge contacts and charge
again (p. 13).

•

Install a new battery (p. 52).

you must use the headset to talk with the
caller. To have a regular cordless phone
conversation, disconnect the headset.

•

properly (p. 49).
