All the backlight keypad functions are
valid in either position of the nitelite
switch.
Hold
This feature allows you to put a call on
hold in order to transfer the call to
another extension, or have a private
conversation that you do not want the
person on the other end of the call to
hear. Once the Hold feature is activat-
ed, the HOLD INDICATOR will illumi-
nate. When Clarity 500 is on hold, the
handset can be placed in the cradle,
and another extension on the phone
line can be used to pick up the call.
To use the Hold feature, press the
HOLD button once. The RED HOLD
INDICATOR will turn on and the mes-
sage PHONE ON HOLD will flash
across the screen. Phone calls can be
removed from HOLD one of the follow-
ing ways: press the HOLD button
again, lift receiver out of cradle, pick
up another extension in your home, or
if you did not return the handset to the
cradle - press and release the hook
switch once. The HOLD INDICATOR
will turn off.

Visual Ringer
With the DC power source attached,
the backlit keypad will flash to alert of
an incoming call. This feature can be
disabled in the Setup Menu (see page
12).
Large Multi Function LCD
An adjustable LCD shows the number
you are dialing, displays numbers
stored into the PhoneBook and, with
Caller ID service displays information
about the caller before you answer.
Backlit Keypad
The keypad is backlit. The keypad’s
backlight will be ON when the handset
is lifted from the cradle, to make dial-
ing easier in low light conditions, and
to make the phone visible when
answering a call. If the Visual Ringer is
set to ON (in Setup Menu), the keypad
will flash when the phone rings (see
page 12).
Nitelite
The Nitelite softly illuminates the key-
pad when the phone is in stand by
mode (not in use), so that the user can
easily find the telephone in the dark.
The Nitelite can be turned off with a
switch on the right side of the tele-
phone that provides HIGH/ LO/ OFF
operation.
