Note: If the LINE 1 or LINE 2 indicator flashes, someone is using that line at the base or on an extension phone. Press the other line button.
To end a call, press LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the handset or place the handset on the base.
ANSWERING A CALL
When a call comes in, the line indicator for that line flashes.
Note: To help you tell which line is ring- ing, each line has a distinctive ring tone.
To answer a call using the handset, lift the handset from the base and press the line button for the line that is ringing. If the handset is away from the base, press any key to answer a call.
To answer a call using the speaker- phone, press either LINE 1 or LINE 2 (whichever is flashing). The indicator for the line in use lights on the base. The in- dicator for the same line flashes on the handset as a reminder that the line is in use.
To end a speakerphone call, press LINE 1 (or LINE 2) again. The line indicator turns off.
If you receive a call on one line while talking on the other, you hear the base ring and three ring tones through the handset (or a low ring on the base when using the speakerphone) if you have set RING VOL to HI or LO. Press the line but- ton for the incoming call’s line. The cur- rent call is automatically placed on hold.
If both lines have an incoming call, pressing a key answers the line that be- gan ringing first.
SETTING THE HANDSET VOLUME
You can adjust the handset’s volume to any of four settings (low, mid, high, max- imum). To change the handset’s volume during a call, repeatedly press VOLUME on the handset. The setting remains the same even when you hang up the phone.
ADJUSTING THE
SPEAKERPHONE
VOLUME
To set the speakerphone’s volume, press VOLUME ù or ø on the base. The display shows the volume setting in the range of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
USING MUTE
While talking on the speakerphone, you can temporarily turn off the phone’s mi- crophone by pressing MUTE so the other party cannot hear you. The indicator for a muted line flashes red. Press MUTE again to resume your conversation.
Hint: If the phone is close to loud noises while you are using the speakerphone, the phone might not switch to let you hear the person on the other end of the line. If this happens, press MUTE to turn off the microphone so you can hear the caller. Press MUTE again when it is your turn to speak.
