OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT:
Whenever the handset batteries are removed,
the handset must be reinitialized on the base
unit cradle after the batteries are replaced.
The IN USE LED on the base unit will flash
during the initialization.

Making Calls
Pick up the handset  and press PHONE.
When you hear a dial tone, dial the number.
The indicator for IN USE (on the handset) will
light.

If you make a mistake when dialing, press
OFF to hang up, then press PHONE to get
the dial tone again.
You must always press PHONE before you
can dial a call on the handset.

Answering Calls
When an incoming call is ringing, the IN USE
LED  on the handset will flash. To make sure
your phone rings when the handset is away
from the base, please keep the base antenna
in the upright position.
To answer a call when the handset is in the
base, just pick up the handset.

To answer a call when the handset is away
from the base, just press any key on the
handset (except OFF). This is very useful in
a dark environment; you do not have to fumble
around looking for the PHONE key to answer
the call.

Disconnecting
To end a call, either place the handset back
in the base, or press OFF on the handset.

Changing Channels
If you notice interference when using your
handset, press CHAN to switch to a clear
channel. This function is only available when
you are on a call.

Temporary Tone
If you have a rotary (dial-pulse) telephone
service, (TONE/PULSE switch is set to
PULSE), this feature allows you to enter
special codes and tones to operate answering
machines, use electronic banking services,
calling cards, or other special services.

First, dial the call normally. Then activate the
Temporary Tone feature by pressing TONE
