ET-532 10-Channel Cordless Telephone (430-1032) Operation Faxback Doc. # 31153 Your ET-532's LCD display shows telephone numbers as you dial them or when you recall hem from memory. It shows the current channel number and lets you know when battery power is growing weak or the phone is out of range of the base. The display also shows indicators when you press FLASH or PAUSE, or when you switch from tone to pulse dialing. MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL You can use your cordless telephone in two ways: at the base or away from the base. USING THE HANDSET AT THE BASE You can use the handset at the base like a regular corded telephone. Just set POWER to ON and place the handset in the cradle. To answer a call, just list the handset from the base. To make a call, lift the handset from the base and press TALK so the keypad and the CHARGE/TALK indicator on the base light. NOTE: CH and the currently used channel number appear on the display. This number might change when you return the handset to the base. To disconnect a call, replace the handset on the base. USING THE HANDSET AWAY FROM THE BASE To make or answer a call, set POWER to ON and press TALK. The keypad and CHARGE/TALK indicator light. To disconnect a call, press TALK so the keypad light and the CHARGE/ TALK indicator turn off. NOTES: CH and the currently used channel number appear on the display. To conserve battery power, you can turn off the handset's power when you are not making or answering a call. You can make or answer a call on a phone on the same line as the cordless phone, even if the handset is away from the base. RANGE appears when the distance from the handset to the base is out of the phone's range. The keypad lights on the handset turn off if no button is pressed for more than 13 seconds. REDUCING INTERFERENCE To reduce interference, press CH to switch to the next channel (10 channels in all) until you receive the best reception. CH and the channel number appear on the display. USING REDIAL To quickly redial the last number you dialed, simply lift the handset from the base and press TALK again so the CHARGE/TALK indicator lights; and then press REDIAL. The redialed number appears on the display. The redial memory holds up to 80 digits in the tone mode or 81 digits in the pulse mode. The redial memory also holds pause entries. NOTE: We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a tone (*) entry (see "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line"). USING FLASH Use FLASH on the handset to perform the switchhook operation for special services, such as call waiting. For example, if you have call waiting, press FLASH to take an incoming call without disconnecting the current call. FLASH appears. Press FLASH again to return to the first call. NOTES: If you do not have special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call. The redial memory does not store a FLASH entry or any digits entered after you press FLASH. USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE Some special services, such as bank by phone, require tone signals. If you have pulse service, you can still use these special tone services by following these steps. 1. Set TONE/PULSE on the base to PULSE. 2. Dial the service's main number. 3. When the service answers, press * on the keypad. A appears on the display. Then dial the additional numbers. The phone sends these numbers as tone signals. 4. When you complete the call, place the handset on the cradle or press TALK to disconnect the call. The phone automatically reset to the pulse mode. NOTE: We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a tone (*) entry. USING PAGE The PAGE feature allows someone at the base to page you at the handset. It also helps you find the handset if you misplaced it. With the handset's power on, the handset beeps four sets of two beeps when you press PAGE on the base. The TALK key on the handset flashes, and the channel number and INT appear on the display. NOTE: The handset will not beep during the a call. MEMORY DIALING You can store up to 30 phone numbers for quick and easy dialing. Each stored number can be up to 16 digits long. NOTES: If TONE/PULSE is set to PULSE and you want to use tone dialing for a memory number, you must store the tone entry along with the number. To keep your accounts secure, we recommend you do NOT store your personal access code for services such as bank-by-phone in a memory location. (SP/N 3/9/96)
