USING BOTH THE HANDSET AND SPEAKERPHONE

If someone else is using the speakerphone, press TALK on the handset to join the con- versation. If someone else is using the hand- set, press SPEAKER on the base to join the conversation.

During the call, one person can hang up and let the call continue at the other keypad. Or, both people can hang up to end the call.

Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise from the base’s speaker, the handset and the base are too close together.

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.Be sure DIAL MODE is set to P.

2.Dial the service’s main number. When the service answers, press TONE on the handset. Any additional numbers you dial are sent as tone signals.

3.When you hang up, the phone automati- cally resets to pulse dialing.

USING REDIAL

You can quickly dial the last number dialed. When you hear a dial tone, press REDIAL.

Notes:

•The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long-distance as well as local numbers.

•The redial memory also holds pause entries. See “Entering a Pause” on Page 15.

USING MUTE

To talk to someone in the room without the person on the other end of the phone line hearing your conversation, press MUTE. The TALK/BATT indicator flashes. Press MUTE again or TALK to resume your phone conver- sation.

USING FLASH

FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation for special services, such as Call Waiting.

For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH to answer an incoming call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to return to the first call.

Note: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call.

PAGING

To page the person who has the handset (or to locate the handset when the phone is not in use), press PAGE on the base for less than 2 seconds. The handset beeps for about 5 seconds. To sound the beep for 1 minute, press PAGE more than 2 seconds. Or, hold down PAGE for over 1 minute to make the handset beep until you release PAGE.

To stop the beeping sooner, press any key on the handset except TALK.

Notes:

•The phone goes off-hook (you hear the dial tone) the first time you press TALK to stop the handset from beeping. If you do not press TALK again, the phone remains off-hook.

•The phone rings if a call comes in during paging.
