USING A HEADSET
You can talk with hands-free convenience
using an optional headset that has a
3
/
32
-inch
(2.5-mm) plug. Contact your local Ra-
dioShack store for a suitable headset.
To connect the headset, open the rubber
cover on the side of the handset, then insert
the headset’s plug into the jack.
Notes:
• Connecting a headset disconnects the
handset’s earpiece and microphone.
•
VOLUME
on the handset also controls
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. You can also answer calls by
pressing
SPEAKER
.
You can use an optional handset holder
(available from your local RadioShack store)
to hang the handset on your belt for greater
convenience.
When you finish using the headset, discon-
nect it from the handset and close the rubber
cover to protect the jack.

Answering System Operation
SELECTING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
The answering system has two prerecorded
outgoing messages. One asks the caller to
leave a message: “Hello, no one is available
to take your call. Please leave a message af-
ter the tone.” The system uses this message
when
REC TIME
is set to
1
or
4
(see “Setting
the Record Time” on Page 18). The other is
simply an announcement and does not let
the caller leave a message: “Hello, no one is
available to take your call.” The system uses
this message when
REC TIME
is set to
ANN
(announcement only).
You can also record your own message (see
“Recording/Deleting an Outgoing Message”).
When you record your own outgoing mes-
sage, the system uses it for all
REC
TIME
set-
tings.
To switch between your outgoing message
and the system’s prerecorded message,
press
OGM
. When the current message be-
gins to play, press
OGM
again. The system
switches to the other message and plays it.
RECORDING/DELETING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
To record your outgoing message (up to 30
seconds long), hold down
OGM
until the sys-
tem beeps and

appears. When you finish
your message, press
