Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s number
(police department, fire department, ambu-
lance) and you choose to test the stored num-
ber, make the test call during the late evening
or early morning hours to avoid peak demand
periods. Also, remain on the line to explain the
reason for your call.
Using a Headset
You can make or answer calls with hands-free
convenience using an optional headset that
has a
3
/
32
-inch (2.5-mm) plug. We recommend
RadioShack Cat. No. 43-194, which is spe-
cially designed for use with the phone.
To connect the headset, pull open the rubber
cover marked
on the side of the handset,
then insert the headset’s
3
/
32
-inch plug into the
jack.
Notes:
• Connecting a headset disconnects the
handset’s earpiece and microphone.
•
VOLUME
on the handset (see “Setting the
Handset Volume” on Page 7) also con-
trols the connected headset’s volume.
• If you place the handset on the base to
recharge it while the headset is con-
nected, be sure the handset seats prop-
erly.
With a headset connected, you make or an-
swer calls as usual using the keys on the
handset.
When you finish using the headset, discon-
nect it from the handset and close the rubber
cover to protect the jack.
