Handset Modes

When you place a call, receive a call, or when you are in a converstation, the
handset is in Talk mode and the Talk icon
is displayed. The Talk icon blinks
when Muting is turned on or during channel changes.
When you place a call, the handset LCD display shows the number you are dialing.
When receiving an incoming call, the display shows information about the calling
party such as phone number and name (if incoming line is equipped with Caller ID).
When you are not receiving a call or dialing, the handset goes into

The display is blank, unless the 900 Mhz handset or the key telephone has a call
holding. If either of these conditions occurs, the second line of the handset display
shows the identity of the party on hold. If the holding call is diconnected, the LCD
