• If the BATT LOW indicator does not
light, but the phone does not work,
recharge the battery pack. (The bat-
tery pack charge might be too low to
light the indicator.)
• If the battery pack gets weak during
a call, the handset sounds 4 beeps
every 30 seconds and the BATT
LOW indicator flashes for 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, the phone automati-
cally disconnects. If this happens,
you must recharge the battery pack
before you can make another call.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the BATT
LOW indicator lights. Otherwise, the
battery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set
T/P
(tone/pulse) on the back of the
base for the type of service you have. If
you are not sure which type you have,
once the battery pack is charged, do this
test.
1. Set
T/P
to
T
.
2. Lift the handset and press
LINE 1
.
3. When you hear the dial tone, press
any number other than
0
.
Note: If your phone system requires
that you dial an access code (9, for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code .
If the dial tone stops, that line has
tone service.
If the dial tone continues, that line
has pulse service.
4. Press
LINE 2
, listen for the dial tone,
and repeat Step 3.
If you have tone service on both
lines, leave
T/P
set to
T
.
If you have pulse service on either
line, set
T/P
to
P
.
TURNING THE RINGER
ON/OFF
You can turn the ET-689’s
ringer on and off. Set
RINGER
on the side of the
handset to
ON
to hear an
incoming call or a page
from the base. Set
RING-
ER
to
OFF
to silence the
ringer.
Note: Even if you turn off the ringer on
the handset, you can still make or re-
ceive calls using this cordless phone.
Telephones on the same line still ring
when there is an incoming call, and the
line indicator on the ET-689’s base
flashes until you answer the call.
