ET-148 Speakerphone with 20-Number Memory (430-0612A) Operation Faxback Doc. # 19481 To dial a number manually, lift the handset and enter the telephone number in the usual manner. USING THE SPEAKERPHONE The built-in speakerphone can be used instead of the handset at any time. Pressing SPKR PHONE connects or disconnects the telephone line. 1. Leave the handset in the cradle and press SPKR PHONE to place or receive calls with the speakerphone. 2. Adjust VOLUME to set the sound for the speakerphone. 3. Press SPKR PHONE to disconnect the telephone line. NOTE: Both people cannot speak at the same time when you use the speaker- phone. Similar to CB (citizen's band radio) operation, the person who speaks first has priority in transmitting through the telephone line. SWITCHING BETWEEN THE HANDSET AND SPEAKERPHONE If you are using the handset and you want to switch to the speakerphone: 1. Press SPKR PHONE. 2. Return the handset to the cradle. When you switch from the speakerphone to the handset be sure to lift the handset before you turn off the speakerphone. Otherwise, you might disconnect the phone call. If you decide to change from speakerphone to handset operation during redialing or memory dialing, let the number completely dial before you lift the handset. Then, lift the handset and press the SPKR PHONE button to release it. USING PRIVACY If there is a high noise level near your phone when you use the speaker- phone, you might have difficulty hearing the other person. In that case, press PRIVACY. The PRIVACY indicator lights. When the privacy function is in effect, the speakerphone's microphone disconnects without ending the call. The other person's voice is easier to hear, but the other person cannot hear you. To talk, release PRIVACY by pressing it again. The PRIVACY indicator goes off. You can also use the privacy feature with the handset microphone, if you want to talk privately with someone in the room with you while you are using the handset. USING REDIAL The PAUSE/REDIAL button serves two purposes. You can use it to redial a number or to insert a pause. See "Using Pause", below. To redial after getting a busy signal, simply hang up. Then, lift the handset (or press SPKR PHONE) and press PAUSE/REDIAL. You can automatically redial either manually-dialed or memory-dialed numbers. See "Memory Dialing", below. Redial memory stores up to 32 digits in the pulse mode and 31 digits in the tone mode. This means you can use it to redial long-distance or local numbers. When you press PAUSE/REDIAL, the telephone redials in the mode (tone or pulse) in which you originally dialed the number. The redial number is replaced each time you dial a new number. NOTES: If you press FLASH, while dialing a number, only the digits preceding FLASH are store in redial memory. Refer to "Using Flash", below. If you change from pulse to tone dialing, when you originally dial the number, there will be a brief pause at the point of change when the number redials. USING FLASH Many special telephone services require a switchhook signal. The FLASH button provides the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation. For example, if you have call waiting (a special service available from many telephone companies), you can put a call on hold and take a second incoming call on the same line by pressing FLASH. Pressing FLASH again would allow you to alternate between the two calls. Neither the flash entry nor any digits you dial after you press FLASH are stored in redial memory. However, you can store a flash entry within a memory dialing sequence as the first digit. See "Using Interoffice Signals" below. The flash entry counts as one digit in memory. NOTE: If you do not subscribe to a special service that uses the switch- hook signal, do not press FLASH during a call. It might disconnect your call. USING INTEROFFICE SIGNALS Some interoffice telephone systems provide special services that require the switchhook signal. For example, a single switchhook signal followed by an extension number can transfer a call from one office to another inside the office telephone network. A single switchhook signal can be stored in memory at the beginning of an extension number. Then, when a call comes in asking for the person at that extension, you can transfer the call with the push of a single button. See "Using Flash", above. USING PAUSE In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before dialing a outside number. When you manually dial a number, or when you store a number in memory, you can have your telephone pause anywhere during the dialing sequence. Simply press PAUSE/REDIAL at the desired location. When you redial or memory dial a number, the telephone pauses for about 2 seconds at the pause entry. For longer pauses, press PAUSE/REDIAL more than once. If you press PAUSE/REDIAL twice, the telephone pauses for about 4 seconds. Each pause entry counts as one digit in memory. USING SPECIAL TONE SERVICES Some computer services, such as alternate long-distance and bank-by-phone, require tone signals for communications. If you have pulse service, you can still use special tone services by following these steps. 1. Connect to the special service using pulse dialing. 2. When the special service answers, set PULSE/TONE MODE switch to TONE. 3. When you complete the call, hang up the handset and return PULSE/TONE MODE switch to PULSE. NOTE: You cannot change from the tone mode to the pulse mode during a call To make this change, hang up the handset and set the PULSE/TONE MODE switch to PULSE. MEMORY DIALING One-button memory dialing lets you program up to 20 phone numbers (15 digits in tone mode, 16 digits in pulse mode) in memory for easy dialing. You can store telephone numbers of 15 or 16 digits in tone mode, 16 digits in pulse mode). Entering a pause or flash entry or changing from the pulse to tone mode counts as one digit each in memory. Storing a Number in Memory 1. Leave the handset in its cradle when storing a number. 2. Be sure PULSE/TONE MODE switch is set for the type of the service you have. 3. Set NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to STORE BATT TEST. The BATT TEST indicator lights, If it does not light or is dim be sure to replace the batteries. See "Installing/Replacing The Batteries", on Faxback Doc. # 19482. 4. Dial the number you wish to store. 5. Press one of the memory buttons at the position where you wish to store the number. 6. Make a note of the person's name on the Memory Index Card. Use a pencil in case you change the stored numbers later. To store additional numbers, repeat Steps 4 and 5 as many times as desired or until all 20 memory positions are filled. When you finish storing numbers, returns NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to NORM. NOTE: If the telephone rings while you are storing numbers, you can answer the call by lifting the handset or pressing SPKR PHONE. If you answer a call before pressing the memory button for the number you were storing, you must re-enter the number in memory after the conversation is concluded. To correct a number you are storing, return NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to NORM. Then reset it to STORE BATT TEST. Or, lift the handset. Then return it to the telephone base and re-enter the number. The only way to erase the number stored in memory is to replace it by storing a new number. CAUTIONS: If you forget to return NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to NORM, the battery will lose power and the number in memory will be lost. You lose all phone numbers previously stored if you attempt to store a number while the BATT TEST indicator is not lighted. Do not attempt to store a telephone number with no battery or a weak battery. When Programming Emergency Numbers And / Or Making Test Calls To Emergency Numbers: Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before you hang up. Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or late evenings. Dialing a Memory Number 1. Lift the handset or press SPKR PHONE. 2. Press the memory button for the number you want to dial. NOTES: If you entered a pulse-to-tone change in memory, dialing pauses briefly for the mode change. It takes a few seconds for the number to dial when you are in the pulse mode. To Stop Memory Dialing Memory Dialing can be stopped at any point by hanging up the handset or by pressing SPKR PHONE. This does not affect the number store in memory. Chain-Dialing Memory Numbers If you frequently use special telephone services, you can save time and memory space by storing the phone number of the service in one memory position and the rest of the information, such as a long distance number, in another memory position. Memory dial the service number first. Then when the service answers, memory dial the other information. We call this procedure chain-dialing. For example, if you store the local special service number and a long distance number in two separate positions, follow these steps to dial the number. 1. Lift the handset or press SPKR PHONE. 2. Press the memory button for the local special service number. 3. Wait for the computer tone. 4. After the tone, set PULSE/TONE MODE switch to TONE if you have pulse- dialing service. If you have tone-dialing service, skip this step. 5. Manually enter your security code. NOTE: We recommend you do not store this security number in a memory position. 6. Press another memory dial button for the long distance number. Using * and # Buttons Use the * and # buttons only in the tone mode for special service functions such as call-forwarding. Check with your special service provider for more information. (LB/EB 08/22/96)
