Channel (Cordless handset only)

If a call is noisy or unclear, or if words fade out, press MENU/CHAN on the cordless handset to scan for a bet- ter communication channel between the handset and the telephone base.

Temporary tone dialing

If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you can switch to touch tone dialing during a call by pressing *. This can be useful if you need to send tone signals for access to answering systems or long-distance services.

After you hang up or press PHONE/FLASH on the cord- less handset or FLASH on the base to access services with your local telephone service provider, the telephone automatically returns to dial pulse (rotary) service.

3-way conference calls

During a call, someone at the telephone base or another handset can join in the conversation.

On the cordless handset: Press PHONE/FLASH to join a conversation begun at the telephone base.

At the telephone base: Lift the handset (or press SPEAKER) to join a conversation begun at the cordless handset.

You can also page the other parts of the system and ask another user to join the call.

From a cordless handset: Press HOLD, then press

INT/DELETE.

From the telephone base: Press HOLD, then press

INTERCOM/CID DEL.

Anyone at a cordless handset or telephone base can either join the call, (by pressing PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER,) or talk to you first, (by answering the page), and then decide whether to join the call. When another user joins the call, the intercom call is terminated.
