ET-441 Cordless Electronic Telephone (430-0573) Operation Faxback Doc. # 34271 For best reception, fully extend the base's antenna and position it vertically. To make or answer a call, lift the handset from the cradle. Or, if the handset is away from the cradle, press the handset's TALK button so TALK/HANG UP LOW BATT lights. To end a call, place the handset on the cradle. Or, press the handset's TALK button so TALK/HANG UP LOW BATT turns off. NOTES: When you press a button, a tone sounds to indicate that the phone accepted the command. If you are out of range of the base, the handset beeps when you press TALK. USING FLASH Call waiting and three-way calling are services offered by some phone companies that let you switch between calls. To switch between calls, you press and release the switchhook on a standard phone, an action referred to as flash. Your Radio Shack ET-441 has a single button that automatically sends the flash signal. Use FLASH to perform the switchhook operation. For example, if you have call waiting, press FLASH/RINGER to take an incoming call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH/RINGER 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/ RINGER might disconnect the current call. PAGING One of the paging feature's handiest uses is to find the handset when someone has left it off the base. Just press PAGE and listen for the beep. When you press PAGE on the base, the handset beeps. NOTE: If TALK/HANG UP LOW BATT is on, the beep does not sound. USING REDIAL Follow these steps to redial the last number you dialed. 1. Return the handset to the cradle or press TALK. 2. Lift the handset or press TALK. Listen for a dial tone. 3. Press REDIAL/PAUSE. The phone dials the last number you dialed. The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long-distance and local numbers. The redial memory also holds pause entries. See "Entering a Pause" under "Memory Dialing", below. NOTE: If you redial a number that includes a pulse-to-tone mode change, there is a 1-second pause at the mode change. USING TOUCH-TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE This feature lets you use special services, such as bank-by-phone, even if you do not have touch-tone service. Follow these steps to switch from pulse to touch-tone dialing. 1. Be sure TONE/PULSE is set to PULSE. 2. Dial the service's main number. 3. When the service answers, press TONE. Then dial the additional numbers. The phone uses touch-tone dialing to dial these numbers. 4. After you complete the call, return the handset to the cradle or press TALK. The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode. NOTE: We recommend you not redial numbers that include a TONE entry, because the 1-second pause following the mode change might not be long enough to let the special service answer. MEMORY DIALING You can store up to 20 telephone numbers in memory. You can then dial a stored number by entering a two-digit memory-location code. Storing a Number in Memory To store a number in memory, do the following. 1. Be sure TALK/HANG UP LOW BATT is off. 2. Press MEMO. The phone sounds a short beep and TALK/HANG UP LOW BATT flashes. 3. Enter the phone number, including any PAUSE and TONE entries (up to 16 digits). See "Entering a Pause", below and "Using Touch-Tone Services on a Pulse Line", above. NOTE: Each PAUSE or TONE entry uses one digit. 4. Press MEMO and the two-digit memory-location number (01-20). The phone sounds a long beep sound and TALK/HANG UP LOW BATT turns off. To store more numbers, repeat Steps 2 through 4. NOTES: If you receive a call while you are storing a number, press TALK to answer the call. After the call, begin again at Step 2 to store the number. For each number you store write the person's or company's name next to the appropriate location number on the memory index card. Use a pencil in case you later store a different number. To delete a number from memory repeat the above steps except Step 3 Entering a Pause 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 allow the outside line time to connect. To do so, press REDIAL/PAUSE to enter a 2-second pause. For a longer pause, press REDIAL/PAUSE additional times. Dialing a Memory Number Follow these steps to dial a number stored in memory. 1. Lift the handset from the cradle, or press TALK. 2. When you hear a dial tone press MEMO and then enter the memory-location code. When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency numbers: Remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before you hang up. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or late evenings. CHAIN-DIALING MEMORY NUMBERS When you use special services, such as alternate long-distance or bank-by- phone, you can store the service's phone number in one memory location, your security code (if you have one) in another location, and any other numbers, such as the long-distance number, in a third location. This lets you easily dial a long sequence of numbers. To chain-dial memory numbers follow these steps. To prevent unauthorized access to your account, we recommend that you not write the memory location code for your security code on the memory index card. 1. Press MEMO and the memory-location code for the service's main number. 2. Wait for the computer tone after the service answers. 3. Press MEMO and the memory-location code for your security code (if necessary). 4. Press MEMO and the memory-location code for the remaining numbers. NOTE: If you use pulse dialing and you want to memory-dial after you reach the special service, remember that you need to press TONE or store TONE before your security code or the remaining numbers.
