If you are going to place the handset in the portable cradle, you must first press OFF to end the call. If you
forget, the handset will sound nine short beeps.
Redial
Your telephone can redial the last number dialed from the handset. Press PHONE for the dial tone, then
press REDIAL. The phone number will remain in the redial memory until you use the handset to dial
another number.
Special Telephone Services
If you subscribe to special services like Call Waiting or Call Forwarding, press and release PHONE on the
handset whenever you would normally press the switchhook on a regular phone. This is just like the Flash
feature on some other phones.
Temporary Tone
If you have dial pulse (rotary) telephone service, this feature lets you enter the codes or tones needed to
operate answering machines, or to use electronic banking services, calling cards, and other special services.
First dial the call normally. Then turn on the Temporary Tone feature by pressing the * TONE key. You
can then press the numbers or symbols you need and your phone will send the proper signals.
To end the call, press OFF, or place the handset back in the base. The phone will automatically switch back
to dial pulse.
The Temporary Tone feature will operate most special services over a dial pulse line. However, some
services may actually require a touch tone
line.
To be sure, ask the company that provides the special
service.
NOTE: If you have touch tone service, you do not need to use the Temporary Tone feature. This
feature is used only when the phone is set for dial pulse dialing.
Operating Range
Your cordless telephone operates at the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Even so, your handset and base unit can communicate over only a certain distance –
which can vary with the locations of the base unit and handset, the weather, and the construction of your
home or office.
It is a good idea to make a few trial calls in and around your home or office to become familiar with the
operating range in your particular surroundings.
For best performance, keep both the handset antenna and the telephone line cord fully extended when using
your handset away from the base.
If You Go Out of Range
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you will hear noise or interference. To improve
reception, move closer to the base.
If you try to end a call when you are almost out of range, you will hear two short beeps when you press
OFF. Move closer to the base and press OFF to end the call – otherwise your phone will remain “off the
hook.”
If you try to make a call when out of range, you will hear two short beeps when you press PHONE. Move
closer to the base, and press PHONE again to make the call.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring – or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press PHONE. Move closer to the base, then press PHONE again to answer the call.
