HANDSET OPERATION
Making a Call
To make a call using the handset, lift the handset from the base and listen for a dial tone. If the handset is away from the base, press TALK and listen for a dial tone. On the handset, the BATT LOW indicator and a LINE indi- cator (1 or 2, whichever line was dialed the last time) light. The indicator for the same line flashes on the base, indicat- ing that line is in use at the handset. Use the handset keypad to dial the de- sired number.
You can also press LINE 1 or LINE 2 to directly select the line you want to use. If either indicator is flashing, someone at the base is using that line on the speakerphone. Press the line button whose indicator is not lit.
Answering a Call
To help you tell which line is ringing, each line has a distinctive ring tone.
To answer a call, simply lift the hand- set. If the handset is away from the base, press TALK to answer the flash- ing line. The BATT LOW indicator and the LINE 1 or LINE 2 indicator on the handset light. The indicator for the line in use flashes on the base.
To disconnect a call, press TALK on the handset or place the handset on the base.
Notes:
•If you press TALK to hang up and the phone does not disconnect, hold the handset closer to the base, then press TALK again.
•When you receive an incoming call on one line while you are using the handset to talk on the other, the handset does not ring but you hear a tone through the earpiece. Place the current call on hold (see “Putting a Call on Hold” on Page 17), then press the line button for the incoming call.
If you press the other line’s button without first pressing HOLD, the first call is disconnected.
