Note: If you select an empty memory loca- tion, the base beeps.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

For quick recall of numbers for special ser- vices (such as bank by phone), store each group of numbers in its own memory loca- tion. Dial the service’s main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM and the number for the location where the additional information is stored.

With a headset connected, you can make or answer calls as usual using the speaker- phone or the keys on the handset.

You can use a handset holder (available from your local RadioShack store) to hang the handset on your belt for greater conve- nience.

When you finish using the headset, discon- nect it from the handset and close the rubber cover to protect the jack.

Testing Stored Emergency Num- bers

If you store an emergency service’s number (police department, fire department, ambu- lance) and you choose to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak demand periods. Also, remain on the line to explain the reason for your call.

USING A HEADSET

You can talk with hands-free convenience using an optional headset that has a 3/32 - inch (2.5-mm) plug. Contact your local Ra- dioShack store for a suitable headset.

To connect the headset, open the rubber

cover marked on the side of the handset, then insert the headset’s plug into the jack.

Notes:

Connecting a headset disconnects the handset’s earpiece and microphone.

VOL/CID 8 or 9 on the handset also controls the connected headset’s vol- ume.

If you place the handset on the base to recharge it while the headset is con- nected, be sure the handset seats prop- erly.

CALLER ID OPERATION

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the phone company sends information about the call, as well as the time and date, between the first and sec- ond rings of every call you receive.

The phone displays this information after the second ring, and it stores up to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It also shows if caller information is unavailable or if the name and number were blocked by the caller (“Caller ID Messages” on Page 20).

If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, you will hear a tone through the handset when a call comes in, then the Caller ID record appears. If you want to answer the in- coming call, press FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.

If the phone’s Caller ID memory becomes full, any new call replaces the oldest call’s record.

Reviewing Caller ID Records

If the handset is faceup on the base, it shows the number of new Caller ID records, if any, and the total number of records.

To review the contents of each Caller ID

record, lift the handset and press to recall the number of records on the display.
