Operating Your Telephone

Visual Ringer

With the DC power source attached, the backlit keypad will flash to alert of an incoming call. This feature can be enabled/disabled in the Setup Menu (see page 10).

Large Multi Function LCD

An adjustable LCD shows the number you are dialing, displays numbers stored into the PhoneBook and, with Caller ID service displays information about the caller before you answer.

Backlit Keypad

The keypad is backlit. The keypad’s backlight will be ON when the handset is lifted from the cradle, to make dialing easier in low light conditions, and to make the phone visible when answering a call. If the Visual Ringer is set to ON (in Setup Menu), the keypad will flash when the phone rings (see page 10).

the backlight keypad functions are valid in either position of the nitelite switch.

This feature allows you to put a call on hold in order to transfer the call to another extension, or have a private conversation that you do not want the person on the other end of the call to hear. Once the Hold feature is activat- ed, the HOLD INDICATOR will illumi- nate. When C500 is on hold, the handset can be placed in the cradle, and another extension on the phone line can be used to pick up the call.

Phone calls can be removed from HOLD one of the following ways: press the HOLD button again, lift receiv- er out of cradle, pick up another exten- sion in your home, or if you did not return the handset to the cradle – press and release the hook switch once.
