Headset Cordless Telephone (430-0569B) Operation Faxback Doc. # 19222 PUTTING ON THE HEADSET Before you use the phone, place the headset on your head and adjust the mouthpiece as necessary. For best results, place the microphone 2 to 3 inches from your mouth. MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL To turn on the phone, set POWER to ON. For best reception, fully extend the baseÆs antenna and position it vertically. To answer a call, press TALK/HANG UP when you hear the remote keypad ring. The IN USE indicator lights. To make a call, press TALK/HANG UP and listen for a dial tone. Then enter the desired phone number. To hang up, press TALK/HANG UP. The IN USE indicator turns off. NOTES: Set POWER to OFF when the remote keypad is away from the base to conserve battery power. When you hear another phone on the same line ring, set POWER to ON and press TALK/HANG UP to answer the call. When you press a button, a single tone indicates that the phone accepts the command. Three tones indicate that you pressed a button in error, you are out of range, or there is too much interference. (You do not hear these tones if POWER is set to OFF.) If there is severe interference, the remote keypad sounds three tones to indicate that it cannot communicate with the base. Before you press any key, move closer to the base. If the battery is low or interference is severe, the remote keypad might lose communication with the base and the call might disconnect. This does not happen often, but if it does, return the remote keypad to the cradle for about 5 seconds. Frequency Channels This phone operates on one of four sets of frequencies. If you experience interference with the phone, you can exchange it for a model that operates on a different set of frequencies. If you decide to exchange the phone, you must do it within 30 days of the original purchase date. USING REDIAL To quickly redial the last number dialed, simply press REDIAL. The redial memory holds up to 16 digits, so you can redial long-distance or local numbers. The redial memory can also store PAUSE entries and switches from pulse to tone dialing (see ôUsing Tone Services on a Pulse Lineö), see below. Entering a Pause With some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. If your phone is connected to one of these systems, you might want to enter a pause at the appropriate point in a number you plan to redial. Press REDIAL/PAUSE once to enter a 2-second pause. To lengthen the pause in 2-second increments, press REDIAL/PAUSE additional times. USING THE PRIVACY FEATURE Press and hold down PRIVACY (on the upper left side of the remote keypad) if you do not want the person on the other end of the phone line to hear you as you talk to someone else in the room. You can still hear the person on the other end of the phone line. Release PRIVACY to resume your phone conversation. USING THE VOLUME CONTROL The volume control (on the lower left side of the remote keypad) is especially helpful when the reception is weak. Rotate VOLUME up to increase the volume or down to decrease it. USING FLASH Use FLASH to perform the switchhook operation for special phone services such as call waiting. For example, if you have call waiting, press FLASH to answer a second call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to return to the first call. NOTES: The redial memory does not store the FLASH entry or the digits you press after the FLASH entry. If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call. USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE Some special phone services, such as bank-by-phone, require tone signals. If you have pulse service, you can still use these special tone services. Follow these steps. 1. Dial the serviceÆs main number. 2. When the service answers, press TONE #, then dial the additional numbers. The phone sends these numbers as tone signals. 3. When you complete the call, place the headset on the cradle or press TALK/HANG UP to disconnect the call. The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode. (EB 1/9/96)
