DUoFONE-185 40 Memory Speakerphone With LCD Display (430-0611) Operation Faxback Doc. # 34426 MAKING A CALL 1. Lift the handset or press [SPEAKERPHONE]. The telephone display shows the time. 2. Enter the desired number using the keypad. As you dial the number, the digits of the telephone number replace the clock display. The display shows up to 10 digits at one time. Eleven-digit numbers or larger scroll to the left. [PAUSE] appears as P, and [FLASH] appears as F. In the tone mode, the [#] and [*] buttons appear as n and u respectively. NOTE: When you dial a number in pulse mode, a short tone sounds to confirm each entry. In the tone mode you hear the standard touch-tones. ANSWERING A CALL When the telephone rings, lift the handset or press [SPEAKERPHONE] and begin speaking. If you use the speakerphone, adjust the speaker's VOLUME control for a comfortable volume level. NOTE: Only one person at a time can talk on a speakerphone. The person that speaks first has priority. Always speak in a clear voice and a little slower than with normal telephone use. SWITCHING BETWEEN THE SPEAKERPHONE AND THE HANDSET Sometimes when you are using the speakerphone or the handset, you might want to switch to the other unit. For example, if you are using the handset and you want to switch to the speakerphone: 1. Press [SPEAKERPHONE]. The indicator lights, and both units are active. 2. Hang up the handset. The handset is no longer active. To switch from speakerphone to handset, simply lift the handset. The speakerphone automatically turns off. USING PRIVACY If you do not want the other person to hear (if you are talking to someone else at your location while talking on the phone), press [PRIVACY]. The privacy indicator lights. You can still hear the other party when you use [PRIVACY]. This is useful 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 TIMER The timer lets you time your phone calls. 1. At any time after you lift the handset, press [TIMER], 00:00:00 appears on the display and timing begins. 2. To stop the timer, press [TIMER] again or hang up the handset. 3. To restart the timer at 00:00:00, press [TIMER] once more. If you do not reset the timer, the call time remains in the timer memory. When you hang up, the timer stops counting. The elapsed time remains on the display for 10 seconds. Then the clock reappears. IF you want to recheck the last timed call, press [TIMER] at any time when the handset is in the cradle. 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 manually dial a number, or when you store a number in memory, you can enter a pause anywhere during the dialing sequence. Simply press [PAUSE] at the desired location. When you redial (or dial a stored number), the telephone pauses for about 2 seconds at the pause entry. For longer pauses, press [PAUSE] more than once. Each pause entry counts as one digit in memory. USING FLASH Many special phone services require a 0.7 - second switchhook signal. The [FLASH] button provides the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation For example, if you have call-waiting (a special service provided by some telephone companies), you can place the call on hold and take a second incoming call by pressing [FLASH]. Pressing [FLASH] again allows you to alternate between calls. NOTES: You can store the flash signal in a memory, provided you make the flash signal the first entry. This is especially useful on PABX and Centrex type office systems. You cannot store the flash signal in [REDIAL], [AUTO REDIAL], or [MEMORY REDIAL]. If you do not subscribe to a service that uses the flash command, the line could disconnect when you press [FLASH] during a call. Battery or AC power is required for the flash function. USING (*) AND (#) Use the [*] and [#] buttons in the touch-tone mode for special service functions such as call-forwarding. Check with your service provider for more information. NOTE: The [*] and [#] buttons have no function in the pulse mode. USING REDIAL You can redial the last number you dialed (manually or memory dialed) by pressing [REDIAL]. This redial memory holds up to 32 digits in pulse mode or 31 digits in tone mode so it retains long-distance as well as local numbers. If you get a busy signal, simply hang up. Then, lift the handset and press [REDIAL]. The redial memory number is replaced each time you dial a new number. If you redial a number that has a pulse-to-tone mode change, the telephone switches from pulse to tone mode at that point and continues dialing. USING AUTO REDIAL Pressing [AUTO REDIAL] causes your telephone to automatically redial the last number dialed up to 10 times. This is handy if you are trying to get through on a busy line. You can hear through the speakerphone when the called party answers. To use this feature: 1. After you dial a number and get a busy signal or no answer, hang up the handset. 2. Slide the AUTO REDIAL TIME switch on the right side of the telephone to either 18 or 30 seconds. This sets the length of time your telephone rings and waits for the number you dialed to answer. If, after the tenth ring, no one answers, the telephone automatically hangs up. 3. Press [AUTO REDIAL]. Your telephone immediately redials, and AUTO- REDIAL appears on the display. The speakerphone and privacy indicators light. You hear the dialing and busy or ring signal through your telephone's speaker. 4. If no answers, or the line is still busy, do nothing. Your telephone waits the length of time set in Step 2. Then, it hangs up. Your telephone dials the call again 30 seconds later. If the called party answers, press [PRIVACY] to talk on the speakerphone or lift the handset to begin your conversation. When the auto-redial feature is active, the privacy mode is active also. This prevents the called person from accidentally hearing (through the speakerphone) a private talk at your end of the line. If you do not lift the handset or press [PRIVACY] to cancel the auto-redial feature, the telephone repeatedly calls the number up to 10 times, even if the called party answers. This can be very annoying to the person you are calling. If you are going to leave the area of your telephone, be sure to cancel the auto redial function by pressing [AUTO REDIAL] a second time or lifting the handset. USING MEMORY REDIAL Storing a Number in Memory Redial You can temporarily store a dialed number for quick and easy redialing at a later time by using the [MEMORY REDIAL] button. You can make or receive calls without losing this number. 1. Dial the desired number manually. 2. If there is no answer or the line is busy, press [MEMORY REDIAL]. Dialing a Number in Memory Redial To redial the stored number, simply lift the handset (or press [SPEAKER- PHONE]) and press [MEMORY REDIAL]. USING TONE SERVICES 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, set the TONE/PULSE MODE switch to TONE. When dialing or storing a number in memory, all digits that you enter after changing the switch to TONE are tone dialed. NOTE: You cannot change from the TONE mode to the PULSE mode while making a call. To make this change, hang up the handset and slide the TONE/PULSE switch to PULSE. Then, lift the handset and place your call in the pulse mode. STORING A MEMORY NUMBER You can store up to 40 telephone numbers for memory dialing. Each stored telephone number can contain up to 15 digits in TONE mode or 16 digits in PULSE mode. 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 hanging up. Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or late evening. There are 20 memory buttons. Each button location can hold two telephone numbers. You can store 20 numbers in the upper level of memory. You can store an additional 20 numbers in the lower memories by using the same 20 buttons but with the [MEMORY LOWER] button activated. CAUTION: The AC adapter must be connected or two AA batteries installed when you store a number in memory. 1. Press [STORE]. One beep tone sounds and the store indicator lights. (When the AC adapter is not connected, the store feature does not work if the batteries are weak.) 2. With the handset in place, select the memory level in which you wish to store your number. To change between upper and lower memory levels simply press [MEMORY LOWER]. The indicator lights when you are in the lower level. Pressing the bottom again returns you to the upper level. The indicator goes off. 3. Enter the desired number. Check the display for accuracy. 4. Press the memory button in which you want to store the number. The number is stored. 5. Press [STORE] to exit store mode. To continue storing numbers in memory, repeat Steps 2-4 as many times as desired (or until the lower and upper memories are full). NOTE: When the store indicator is on, you cannot make a call but, incoming calls ring through. To answer a call, lift the handset. The store mode releases automatically. Any number not yet stored in a memory button is lost when you lift the handset. Previously stored numbers are not affected. USING THE MEMORY INDEX CARD Remove the clear plastic cover. Then, as you store numbers in memory, make a note (person's name, for example) on the memory index card next to the memory location button. Use a pencil for entries, just in case you change the numbers. VERIFYING NUMBERS You can recall and display a telephone number stored in a memory button or in one of the redial buttons. To do so, however, the handset must be in place and the speakerphone must not be on. Press any of the memory buttons, or [MEMORY REDIAL], or [REDIAL]. The stored number appears on the display. The telephone returns to the clock display after 10 seconds. If you want to return to the time display without waiting 10 seconds, press [CLOCKSET]. DIALING A MEMORY NUMBER 1. Lift the handset or press [SPEAKERPHONE]. 2. If the memory number is in the lower level, press [MEMORY LOWER]. The [MEMORY LOWER] indicator lights. Memory automatically returns to the upper level when you hang up. 3. Then, press the memory button for the number you want to dial. NOTES: When you press a memory button, one beep sounds. If the memory location is empty the telephone sounds three beeps as a warning tone. You can stop memory dialing at any point by hanging up the handset or pressing [SPEAKERPHONE]. This will not erase the stored number. CHAIN DIALING MEMORY NUMBERS When using special tone 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 you continue. The length of time before the computer answers can vary, so we suggest not using a pre-programmed pause before a service number. However, you can store the phone number of the service in one memory button and the rest of the information, such as a long distance number, in another memory button. Press the memory button with the service number first. Then, when the computer answers, press the memory button containing the other information. If you have pulse-dialing service, be sure to set the TONE/PULSE switch to TONE when storing numbers that you want to memory dial after the computer service answers. For example, if you have your long distance carrier stored in one memory button and a long distance number stored in another memory button, follow these steps to dial the number. 1. Press the memory button to dial your long distance carrier. 2. When the carrier answers, set the TONE/PULSE switch to TONE and enter your personal identification number. We recommend that you do not store this number in memory, but you can if you wish. 3. Press the other stored button to dial the long distance number. (LB/EB 08/20/96)
