Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service’s number (police department, fire depart- ment, ambulance) 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 ex- plain the reason for your call.

USING A HEADSET

You can make or answer calls with hands-free convenience using an op- tional headset that has a 3/32-inch (2.5

mm)plug. We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 43-194.

To connect the headset, insert the head- set’s plug into the jack on the top of the handset.

Notes:

•Connecting a headset disconnects the handset’s earpiece and micro- phone.

•If you place the handset on the base to recharge it while the headset is connected, be sure the handset seats properly.

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

RadioShack also sells a leather carrying case (Cat. No. 43-197) which lets you hang the handset on your belt for hands- free conversation when you are working in the yard or garage.
