Basic Setup

There are five basic options that you will need to set up: AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call
Waiting), Area Code, Dial Mode and Language.

Activating AutoTalk

AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone simply by removing the handset from the base. You
do not have to press any keys.

1) When the phone is in standby mode, press and hold the

call id/

menu

key. The following screen appears.

2) Press the

select/remote

key to turn AutoTalk on.

3) Press the

end

key to complete the setting. The handset returns to standby mode.

Activating Caller ID on Call Waiting

Caller ID allows you to see the name and number of the calling party before you answer the
phone. Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) lets you see the name and number of a call that
comes in when you are on the line.

You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local telephone provider to use this
feature.

1) When the phone is in standby mode, press and hold the

call id/
