Making calls (continued)
Notes
• When making a call on the cordless handset, “
” appears on the display
indicating the receiver sensitivity with the base phone. Three bars indicate a
good reception, no bar indicates a bad reception. When calling from an area
with poor reception, you may experience interference or the call may be
disconnected, so try to use the cordless handset in areas that have a good
reception.
• When you increase the sound volume, in some cases the back ground noise
may be increased as well. You should adjust the volume accordingly.
• If the cordless handset beeps every second during a conversation and “ ”
appears on the display, move closer to the base phone; otherwise, you will
hear five short error beeps and “OUT OF RANGE” will appear on the
display, and the call will be disconnected after 30 seconds.
• While talking with an outside caller via the base phone, you cannot make a
call with the cordless handset. If you press
(TALK)
, “BASEPHONE IN USE”
appears on the display and you will hear a busy tone.
• When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.
EZfit
The “EZfit” adjusts to fit any shape ear,
thereby ensuring clear voice reception.
If the battery becomes weak during a call
The cordless handset will beep twice per second, “BATTERY LOW”
appears on the display. Finish your call and replace the cordless
handset on the charger to charge the battery pack. Or, to continue your
phone conversation with the base phone, press
(HOLD)
on the cordless
handset to hold the line, and then pick up the handset or press
(SPEAKERPHONE)
on the base phone.
For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.
Note that during the initial charge time (approx. 10 minutes), “PLEASE
WAIT...” and “BATTERY LOW” appear on the display and the
cordless handset cannot be used.
After “BATTERY LOW” turns off, you
may
be able to use the cordless
handset, but the battery duration will be
very short
; thus it is
recommended that you
fully charge
the battery before next use.

Making calls (continued)
Notes
• While talking with an outside caller via the cordless handset, the display on
the base phone shows “CORDLESS HANDSET IN USE” and you cannot
make a call with the base phone.
• When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.
Tip
You can switch between phone conversations via the handset and those via the
speakerphone, simply by picking up the handset while talking over the
speakerphone, or by pressing
(SPEAKERPHONE)
while talking over the handset.
To obtain the best speakerphone performance
• You may not be able to hear the other party’s voice in a noisy place.
Therefore, use the speakerphone in a quiet room.
• Do not bring your hand or other object too close to the microphone
or you will hear a shrill noise (“feedback”).
• When the speaker volume is loud, or the base phone has been placed
close to a wall, you may find that the volume drops suddenly. This
is due to a circuit in the telephone designed to protect against
feedback. In such cases, lower the speaker volume slightly.
