Ring Count Switch

Using the Handset Finder (PAGE)

1. Press PAGE on the base. The In Use LED will light. If the handset is

Security Code

The security code prevents your cordless telephone conversation from being accessed by a phone on a different line. If the handset is placed in the base to charge, the handset will automatically select the code from a total of over 65,000 combinations. The code is changed every time the handset is placed in the cradle (indicated by a beep).

Channel Changing

If you are experiencing interference during a telephone call, press the c key. The BE-3872 will scan up to 40 channels and select the clearest one to provide the best possible reception.

Out-of-Range Warning

If you venture too far from the base, the handset will beep. Reverse your direction to re-establish connection with the base or the call will be dropped. When the base detects that the handset has been out of range for 20 continuous seconds it will release the engaged line.

ANSWERING SYSTEM SETUP

Setting the Ring Count

The ring count setting will prompt the BE-3872 to pick up an incoming call with the answering machine after 2, 4, or TS (tollsaver 2/4) rings. There is a ringer switch on the bottom of the base; adjust this switch to the number of rings that you desire.

2R: The unit will pick up after two rings.

4R: The unit will pick up after four rings.

TS: The answering machine will pick up after four rings if there are no new messages or after two rings if there are. This enables you to hang up after the third ring when checking your messages remotely (which saves toll charges).
