SWITCHING BETWEEN THE
HANDSET AND
SPEAKERPHONE

base. When you hear the conversation on
the speakerphone, press

set.

AND SPEAKERPHONE
If someone else is using the speakerphone,
press

on the handset to join the con-
versation. If someone else is using the hand-
set, press
SPEAKER
on the base to join the
conversation.
During the call, one person can hang up and
let the call continue at the other keypad. Or,
both people can hang up to end the call.
Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise from
the base’s speaker, the handset and the

services, pressing

entries (see “Entering a Pause” on
Page 19).
USING TONE SERVICES ON
A PULSE LINE

phone, require tone signals. If you have
pulse service, you can still use these special
tone services by following these steps.

2. Dial the service’s main number. When
the service answers, press

the handset. Any additional numbers
you dial are sent as tone signals. When
you hang up, the phone automatically
resets to pulse dialing.
