ET-142 Two Line Telephone with Auto-Dialer (430-0640) Operation Faxback Doc. # 34488 DIALING A NUMBER MANUALLY Be sure the NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch is in the NORM position. 1. Lift the handset. 2. Press either line button. 3. Dial the number. ANSWERING A CALL When a line rings, the indicator above the ringing line's button flashes. To help you tell which line is ringing, each line has a distinctive ring tone. Line 1 has the lower tone, and Line 2 has the higher tone. To answer a ringing line, simply lift the handset and press the ringing line's button. USING THE * AND # BUTTONS Use these buttons in the tone mode with some special services. Check with your telephone company or any special service, such as bank-by-phone, for the functions of these buttons. NOTE: The [*] and [#] buttons have no function in the pulse mode. 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. Call the special service using pulse dialing. 2. When the special service answers, switch the PULSE/TONE switch to TONE. 3. Follow the normal procedures for the special service. Your telephone sends any additional numbers you dial by touch-tone. NOTE: You cannot change from TONE to PULSE during a call. You must first hang up the telephone, and then switch the PULSE-TONE switch back to PULSE. USING PAUSE/REDIAL Inserting a Pause in a Number 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 have your telephone pause anywhere during the dialing sequence. Simply press [PAUSE/REDIAL] at the desired location. When you manually dial, the phone does not pause. You must wait for the dial tone before continuing. If you might redial the number, press [PAUSE/ REDIAL] at the proper place. When redialing or memory dialing the number, your telephone pauses for about 2 seconds at the pause entry. For longer pauses, press [PAUSE/REDIAL] more than once. (For example, if you press [PAUSE/REDIAL] twice, your tele- phone pauses for about 4 seconds.) Redialing a Number You can dial the last number called by lifting the handset, and selecting a line. You can automatically redial either manually-dialed or memory dialed numbers. The redial memory holds up to 32 digits (31 in the tone mode), so it saves long-distance, as well as local numbers. Also, you do not have to redial the number on the line it was originally dialed on. If you redial a number that contains a pause entry or a pulse-to-tone mode change, the phone includes these entries in the redial memory. Your tele- phone pauses for one second at the mode change. NOTES: If you dial more numbers without hanging up the phone after it flashes redialing, your telephone adds these numbers to the number previously stored in the redial memory. However, if you dial more than 32 digits (or 31 in the tone mode), your telephone does not store any numbers in the redial memory. If you press [FLASH], while dialing a number, only the digits proceeding [FLASH] are stored in redial memory. 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 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 lets you alternate between the two calls. You can enter [FLASH] as the first button in a memory dialing sequence. This lets you take advantage of features of many PABX systems. NOTE: If you do not subscribe to a special service that uses the switch- hook signal, do not press [FLASH] during a call. You might disconnect the call. USING HOLD To answer a second incoming call or make another call while using the other line, place the first call on hold. For example, if you use Line 1 and Line 2 rings: 1. Press [HOLD]. The Line 1 indicator lights and Line 1's button pops up. 2. Press Line 2's button and talk to the calling party. 3. If you want to put Line 2 on hold and return to Line 1, press [HOLD] again. Then, press Line 1's button to release Line 1 from hold. The LINE 2 indicator lights, and you reconnect to Line 1. NOTE: Pressing the other line's button without using [HOLD] disconnects the first call. MEMORY DIALING Storing a Number in Memory You can store up to 20 telephone numbers in your telephone's memory. Each number can have up to 16 digits (15 digits in the tone mode). Pressing [PAUSE/REDIAL], [FLASH], or changing from the pulse to tone mode counts as one digit in memory. NOTE: You can enter [FLASH] in memory as the first button in a memory dialing sequence. Otherwise, your telephone stores only the digits preceding flash. This feature could be useful if you connect the telephone to A PABX system that uses flash to access special services. 1. Be sure to set the PULSE/TONE switch to the correct position. Leave the handset on the phone. 2. Set the NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to STORE BATT TEST. 3. If the BATT TEST indicator does not light or is dim, replace the batteries. 4. Enter the desired phone number. You hear a confirmation tone each time you press a button. Include any pauses or flashes. 5. Press [MEMORY]. 6. Enter a two-digit number from 01-20. Your telephone stores the digits you entered in Step 4. 7. To store more numbers, repeat Steps 4 through 6. 8. When you finish storing numbers, return the NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to NORM. CAUTION: If you do not return the NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to the NORM position, your telephone drains the batteries, and loses all memory numbers. If you make a mistake while entering a number, return the NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to NORM, then reset it to the STORE BATT TEST position. Or, lift the handset, then return it to the telephone base. Then, re-enter the number. If the telephone rings while you are storing numbers, you can answer the call without returning the NORM/STORE BATT TEST switch to NORM. If you answer a call before assigning a memory location to the number you were storing, you must re-enter the number after your conversation. You cannot delete a number from memory, you can only store a new number in its place. 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. Using the Memory Index Card As you store numbers in memory, make a note (person's name, for example) on the index card next to the memory location number. Use a pencil in case you change the number. Dialing a Number from Memory 1. Lift the handset. 2. Select an unused line. 3. Press [MEMORY]. 4. Enter the two-digit code (01-20) for the stored telephone number. 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 we advise that you do not use a pre-programmed pause after a service number. 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 switch from pulse to tone when you store 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]. 3. Enter 01. 4. When the service answers, switch from pulse to tone (if necessary), and enter your personal identification number. We recommend that you do not store this number in a memory location, but you can if you want. 5. Press [MEMORY]. 6. Enter 05 to dial the long distance number. (LB/EB 09/03/96)
