DUoFONE-210 2-Line SpeakerPhone with Auto-Dialer (430-0615) Operation Faxback Doc. # 34225 DIALING A NUMBER MANUALLY Be sure the STORE/NORMAL switch is in the NORMAL position. 1. Lift the handset. 2. Select an unused line by pressing its line button. 3. Dial the number. ANSWERING A CALL When a line rings, the indicator above the ringing line's button flashes. Additionally, to help you tell which line is ringing, each line has a different ring tone. Line 1 has the higher tone, and Line 2 has the lower tone. To answer a ringing line, simply lift the handset and press the ringing line's button. USING THE * AND # KEYS These keys are used in the tone mode to use some special services. Check with your telephone company or any special service, such as bank-by-phone, for the functions of these keys. NOTE: The * and # keys have no function in the pulse mode. USING CONFERENCE Three party conversations use both telephone lines. Both lines must be free. 1. Make an outside call, or answer an incoming call as described above. Press [HOLD]. The line indicator flashes. 2. Make or answer a call using the other line. 3. Press [CONFERENCE]. Both line indicators and the CONFERENCE indicator light up. 4. To end a conference call press [CONFERENCE] again. The line that has a button up is disconnected. USING TONE SERVICE WITH A PULSE LINE Some special 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, press [LDT]. 3. Follow the normal procedures for the special service you are using. Any additional numbers dialed are sent touch-tone. The telephone returns to the pulse mode when you hang up. USING PAUSE In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before dialing an outside number. When you are manually dialing a number or when you are storing a number in memory, you can have the DUoFONE-210 pause anywhere during the dialing sequence. Simply press [PAUSE] at the desired location. When redialing or memory dialing the number, the DUoFONE-210 pauses for about 2 seconds at the pause entry. For longer pauses, press [PAUSE] more than once. (For example, if you press [PAUSE] twice, the DUoFONE-210 pauses for about 4 seconds). USING REDIAL You can redial the last number called by lifting the handset, selecting a line, and pressing [REDIAL]. The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so it saves long-distance, as well as local numbers on the line it was original dialed on. If you redial a number that contains either a pause or an LDT entry, the phone includes these entries in the redial memory. At the LDT entry the telephone switches from the pulse to the tone mode and continues dialing. USING FLASH Many special phone services require a switchhook signal of about 0.7 seconds. The [FLASH] button provides the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation. For example, if you have call waiting (a special service available from some telephone companies), you can put a call on hold and take a second incoming call on the same line by pressing [FLASH]. Press [FLASH] again would allow you to alternate between the two calls. NOTE: If you do not subscribe to a special service that uses the switch- hook signal, do not press [FLASH] during a call. The line might be disconnected when you press [FLASH]. USING HOLD To answer a call or make another call while you are talking on the other line, place the first call on hold. For example, if you were using Line 1 and Line 2 rings: 1. Press [HOLD]. Line 1's button pops up and Line 1 indicator flashes. 2. Press Line's button and talk to the calling party. 3. If you want to put Line 2 on hold and return to the caller on Line 1, press [HOLD] again, and then press Line 1's button to release Line 1 from hold. The LINE 2 indicator flashes and you are re-connected to the caller on Line 1. You can also resume the call at another phone. USING PRIVACY If you do not want the other person(s) to hear you (if you are talking with someone else at your location while talking on the phone, for example) press [PRIVACY]. This turns off the microphone without ending the call. Press the button again to resume the conversation. You can still hear the other party when [PRIVACY] is pressed. This is use- ful if you are talking from a noisy area because the noise is not picked up by the telephone when the other party is talking. USING THE SPEAKERPHONE Press [SPEAKER] to make or receive speakerphone calls. Press [SPEAKER] again to hang up. You can use the speakerphone whenever lifting the handset is referred to in this manual. To switch from the handset to the speakerphone, press [SPEAKER], then return the handset to its cradle. To switch from the speakerphone to the handset, lift the handset, then press [SPEAKER]. To Answer a Speakerphone Call You can answer an incoming call, without lifting the handset, by simply pressing [SPEAKER] and the ringing line's line button. SPEAKERPHONE NOTES When you are using the speakerphone, only one party can talk at a time. The person who speaks first has priority. If there is a high noise level near your telephone, it might not switch so you can hear your caller. If this happens, press [PRIVACY] when you have completed your side of the conversation. This disables the micro- phone, so you can listen to the other party. Of course, you must press [PRIVACY] again to release it when you want to talk. MEMORY DIALING Storing a Number in Memory You can store up to 33 telephone numbers including three priority-call numbers in the DUoFONE-210's memory. Each number can have up to 32 digits, to a total of 480 stored digits in all memories. Pressing PAUSE or LDT counts as one digit in memory. 1. Be sure the TONE/PULSE switch is in the correct position. Leave the handset on the phone. 2. Slide the STORE/NORMAL switch to the STORE position. 3. Press [MEMORY]. The MEMORY indicator lights. 4. Enter the desired phone number. You hear a confirmation tone each time you press a button. Include any pauses or LDT entries. 5. Press [MEMORY] again. 6. Enter a two-digit number from 01-30 or press one of the three PRIORITY CALL buttons. The digits entered in Step 4 are not stored in the two- digit memory location. The MEMORY indicator goes off. 7. To store more numbers, repeat Steps 3 through 6. 8. When you finish storing numbers, return the STORE/NORMAL switch to the NORMAL position. CAUTION: If you forget to return the STORE/NORMAL switch to NORMAL, the battery is drained, and the numbers in memory are lost. If you make a mistake while entering a number, simply press MEMORY twice, and begin again from Step 2. If the telephone rings while you are storing numbers, you can answer the call by returning the STORE/NORMAL switch to NORMAL. If you answer a call before assigning a memory location to the number you were storing, you must re-enter the number you were storing, you must re-enter the number after your conversation. To delete a number from memory simply skip step 4. NOTE: Do not call an emergency service number, such as police, fire, or 911, to test the memory-dial feature of your telephone (to test your dialer). If you accidentally dial such a service, stay on the tele- phone line and identify the call as a test. This eliminates the chance of an emergency vehicle being dispatched to your location. Using the Memory Index Card As you store numbers in memory, make a note (person's name, for example) on the memory index card next to the memory location number. Use a pencil in case you change the numbers. Dialing a Number from Memory 1. Lift the handset. 2. Press one of the line buttons. 3. Press [MEMORY]. 4. Enter the two-digits code (01-30) for the stored telephone number. Dialing a Priority Number 1. Lift the handset. 2. Press one of the line buttons. 3. Press one of the three priority buttons. Chain-Dialing Memory Numbers When using special computer services, such as alternate long distance or bank-by-phone, you must dial the telephone number of the service and wait for the computer to answer before continuing. The length of time before the computer answers can vary, so using a preprogrammed pause after a service number is not advised. However, you can store the phone number of the service in one memory location and the rest of the information, such as a long distance number, in another memory location. Memory dial the service number first. Then, when the computer answers, memory dial the other information. If you have pulse-dialing service, be sure to include an LDT entry in front of the numbers that you want to memory dial after the computer service answers. For example, if you have your long distance carrier stored in Memory 01 and a long distance number stored in Memory 05, follow these steps to dial the number: 1. Lift the handset and select a line. 2. Press [MEMORY] 01. 3. When the service answers, switch from pulse to tone by pressing [LDT] (if necessary), and enter your personal identification number. We re- commend you do not store this number in a memory location, but you can if you wish. 4. Press [MEMORY] 05 to dial the long distance number. (LB/EB 08/27/96)
