OPERATION 

MAKING/ANSWERING A 
CALL

You can use your cordless telephone
in two ways: at the base or away from
the base.

Using the Handset at the 
Base

You can use the handset at the base
like a regular corded telephone. Just
set the handset’s 

POWER

 to 

ON

 and

place the handset in the cradle.

To answer a call, just lift the handset
from the base.

To make a call, lift the handset from
the base and press 

TALK

 so the TALK

indicator lights.

To disconnect a call, replace the hand-
set on the base.

Using the Handset Away from 
the Base

To use the handset away from the
base, set 

POWER

 to 

ON

, then press

TALK

 to make or answer a call. The

TALK indicator lights.

To disconnect a call, press 

TALK

 so

the TALK indicator turns off.

Notes:

• To conserve battery power, you

can turn off the handset’s power
when you are not making or
answering a call. The cordless
phone does not ring when it
receives an incoming call with the
handset’s power turned off. How-
ever, other phones on the same
line still ring. Set 

POWER

 to 

ON

 to

answer the call using the cordless
phone.

• You can make or answer a call on

a phone on the same line as the
cordless phone, even if the hand-
set is away from the base.
