The 900 MHz cordless telephone base station allows 

you to switch calls between the 900 MHz handset 

and the key telephone.

Caution: Do not press the buttons labeled "Desk" 

or "Cordless" on the base station when 

receiving a call.  Doing so may 

disconnect the call.

Switching a call from 900 MHz handset to key 
telephone

To switch during an active call:

1.   

Press HOLD on the 900 MHz handset.

2.

Press TALK on the 900 MHz handset.

3.

Press the DESK button on the base station.

4.

Pick up the receiver on the key telephone.

Note:
• When the base station is operating with the key 

telephone, and you press the 900 MHz handset 
TALK button, there is no handset tone.  The hand-
set displays LINE IN USE for 5 seconds.

• If the PBX is powered off and on while the base 

station is in use, it may be necessary to reset the 
base station. You can do so by powering the base 
station off and on.
