Completing Installation
1. Set the TONE/PULSE switch, located on the side of the hand-
set, to the desired setting (normally TONE).

control is used to increase or decrease the volume in the tele-
phone handset.

(normally ON).
Placing a Call
To place a call, lift the handset and dial the desired number. The

will give you a new dial tone (for example if the line was busy,
press and hold the HOOKSWITCH key to hang up, then dial again
or press REDIAL).
Call Timer
During the call, the display will show a clock
indicating the duration of the telephone call.
Redialing a Call
Lift the handset and press REDIAL to auto-
matically display and dial the last number dialed from the keypad.
Using the Flash Button
During a call, pressing the FLASH key will activate special tele-
phone services such as Answer Call Waiting or 3-Way Confer-
ence Calling. Consult your local telephone company about the
availability and use of these services.

Receiving CALLER ID when the Line Rings
Your GTE 5050T Trimstyle Telephone automatically captures
Caller ID when it is sent from the telephone company immediately
following the first ring. That is why it is important to not answer the
line until the start of the second ring. The call information received
will be displayed on the LCD screen. After a few seconds, the dis-
play will return to the Time and Date screen.
Call Waiting Caller ID when the Line is in Use
Your GTE 5050T Trimstyle Telephone automatically captures Call
Waiting Caller ID, when you subscribe to the service. The Call
Waiting Icon blinks shortly after the Call Waiting beep is heard
and the caller information is received and displayed. Press FLASH
to answer the waiting caller.

ing area, the display will show UNAVAILABLE.
