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
To connect the headset, open the rubber
cover marked 
on the side of the hand- set, then insert the headset’s plug into the jack.
Notes:
•Connecting a headset disconnects the handset’s earpiece and microphone.
•8 or 9 on the handset also controls the connected headset’s volume.
•Pressing MUTE on the handset also silences the headset’s microphone.
•If you place the handset on the base while the headset is connected, be sure the handset seats properly.
With a headset connected, you can make or answer calls as usual using the keys on the handset.
You can use a handset holder (available at your local RadioShack store) to hang the handset on your belt for greater conve- nience.
When you finish using the headset, discon- nect it and close the rubber cover to protect the jack.
ˆAnswering System Operation
SELECTING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE
The answering system has two prerecorded outgoing messages. One asks the caller to leave a message: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message af- ter the tone.” The system uses this message when REC TIME is set to 1 or 4 (see “Setting the Record Time” on Page 17).
REC TIME
ANN/4/1
The other message is an announcement and does not let the caller leave a message: “Hel- lo, no one is available to take your call.” The
system uses this message when is set to ANN (announcement only).
You can also record your own message (see “Recording/Deleting an Outgoing Message” on Page 17). When you record your own out- going message, the system uses it for all REC TIME settings.
To switch between your outgoing message and the answering system’s prerecorded message, press OGM. When the current message begins to play, press OGM again.
