Using Special Features
Using Your Phone During a Power Failure
Because it includes a corded handset, your phone can perform
several of its functions during a power failure. The following features
will operate during a power failure (all other features are disabled):
Making and receiving calls with the base corded handset.
Changing the volume on the corded handset.
Using Call Waiting on a base corded handset call.
Entering pauses when dialing from the base corded handset.
While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you
cannot adjust the volume of this ringer.
Chain Dialing
If you often have to enter a series of digits or a code number
during a call, you can save that code number to a phonebook
entry and use the phonebook to send the code number.
Enter the code number (up to 20 digits) into the phonebook just
like a regular phonebook entry. Be sure to enter the code number
into the phonebook exactly as you would enter it during a call.
When you hear the prompt that tells you to enter the number, open
the phonebook and find the entry that contains your code number.
Press
MENU/SELECT
to transmit the code. The phone transmits the
code number exactly as you entered it in the phonebook. Or, if you
change your mind, use
PHONEBOOK/LEFT
to close the phonebook.
