TAD-1010 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephone w/ Digital Multi-User Ans. Sys. (430-0771) Operation, Telephone Faxback Doc. # 33530 IMPORTANT: If you move the handset outside the base's range, the handset will not operate properly and a call in progress might be disconnected (see "Troubleshooting" on Faxback Doc. # 33533). ANSWERING/MAKING A CALL To answer a call, if the handset is on the base, simply lift the handset and begin your conversation. To answer a call if the handset is not on the base, press any key on the handset (except OFF) before speaking. NOTES: Both the IN USE indicator on the base and the TALK indicator on the handset flash when you receive a call and light steadily while the handset is in use. If the handset's ringer is turned on and you press OFF while the handset is ringing, the handset's ringer turns off for that call only, then it automatically turns on when the next call comes in. To make a call, pick up the handset and press TALK. When the IN USE indicator lights steadily and you hear a dial tone, dial the desired phone number or memory number (see "Memory Operation" on below). NOTES: Before you get a dial tone, there might be a slight delay while the TAD-1010 searches through its 10 channels to find a clear channel. While the phone searches, the TALK indicator on the handset blinks. If you hear a short buzz when you press TALK, or the PRIVACY/LOW BATT indicator flashes, the handset batteries need recharging. To end a call, place the handset on the base, press TALK again, or press OFF on the handset. ADJUSTING THE HANDSET'S VOLUME To adjust the handset's volume up or down during a call, press /\ or \/ on the side of the handset.

USING PRIVACY To talk to someone else in the room without the person on the other end of the phone hearing your conversation, press PRIVACY. The PRIVACY/LOW BATT indicator on the handset lights steadily. The person on the other end cannot hear you, but you can hear conversation on the other end. Press PRIVACY again to resume your phone conversation. The PRIVACY/LOW BATT indicator turns off. USING HOLD To place a call on hold, press HOLD. The TALK indicator flashes to remind you that the call is on hold. To take the call off hold and rsume your conversationm, press talk. The talk indicaor lights steadily. USING FLASH You can use FLASH to produce a switchhook signal for special phone services such as call waiting. If you have call waiting, press FLASH to take an incoming call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to return to the first call. NOTE: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call. USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE If you have pulse service, you can temporarily switch to sending tone signals for banking services or computer transactions. Dial the service's phone number as usual, then simply press TONE * at the appropriate place in the call to change to tone dialing. Further key presses produce tone signals. The phone automatically resets to use pulse dialing when you hang up. USING PAGE The PAGE button lets you page someone in your home or office and helps you locate the handset when it is away from the base. 1. Press PAGE on the base. The handset rings. NOTE: PAGE still works even when the ringer is turned off. 2. Press OFF on the handset or PAGE on the base to cancel the paging tone. CHANGING CHANNELS The TAD-1010 continuously scans 10 channels (frequency pairs used between the base and the handset) and automatically selects a clear channel each time you make or receive a call using the handset. If you notice interference when using your handset, press CH to switch to a clear channel. NOTE: You cannot change channels when a call is on hold. MEMORY OPERATION You can store up to 10 phone numbers in the TAD-1010's memory, then quickly dial them. NOTE: Each phone number can be up to 16 digits long. Storing a Number in Memory 1. Press OFF on the handset. 2. Press PROG. The TALK indicator flashes. 3. Press the number (0-9) of the memory location where you want to store the phone number. NOTE: If you do not complete Steps 2 and 3 within 30 seconds, the telephone exits this procedure. Start again from Step 2. 4. Using the handset, dial the number you want to store. NOTES: To store the last number dialed, press REDIAL. For security purposes, we recommend that you do not store private numbers, such as personal identification numbers or passwords. If you have pulse service and want to use tone dialing, press TONE * at the appropriate place in the number sequence. To store one or more pauses in the memory number, see "Storing a Pause in Memory" on below. Each pause or TONE * entry counts as one memory digit. 5. Press MEM (memory) to store the number in memory. The phone rings once. NOTE: If you hear a long buzzing tone, the number is not stored. Repeat the procedure. Repeat this procedure for each number you want to store. NOTES: To change or replace a stored number, simply enter a new number in its place. To erase a number from memory, repeat this procedure, but skip Step 4. Storing a Pause in Memory In 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. You can store the access code with the phone number. However, you must also store a pause after the access code. To insert a pause in a number you store in memory, press HOLD at the appropriate point. This inserts a 1 1/2-second pause. For longer pauses, press HOLD two or more times. Dialing a Stored Number 1. Press TALK to get a dial tone. 2. Press MEM and the number key for the memory location (0-9). Chain Dialing Service Numbers You can make a call using more than one of the TAD-1010's memory locations. This is called chain dialing. Chain dialing is useful for dialing special services such as alternate long distance or bank-by-phone. When calling special services, dial the service's main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM and the number for the memory location where the additional information is stored. (BR/EB 6/3/96)
