BASIC OPERATION

To make a call, pick up the handset and select a line by pressing LINE 1 or LINE

2.When you hear the dial tone, dial the number.

Notes:

•The phone automatically selects the free line if you do not press LINE 1 or

LINE 2.

•If you do not select a line before picking up the handset, the free line activates.

When you receive a call on a line, the in- dicator for that line flashes and the phone rings (if RINGER is set to LO or HI). To answer the call, press the ringing line’s button (LINE 1 or LINE 2) and pick up the handset.

To help you tell which line is ringing, each line has a distinctive ring tone. Line 1has a higher tone than Line 2.

Note: Line 2 does not operate during a power failure.
