Phonebooks

This unit provides the handset phonebook (200 names and phone numbers; page 22) and the shared phonebook (20 names and phone numbers; page 25). These phonebooks allow you to make calls without having to dial manually. For handset phonebook, you can assign each handset phonebook entry to the desired category, and search for handset phonebook entries by name or category.

Handset phonebook category

If you subscribe to Caller ID service, handset phonebook categories (page

22)can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones for different categories of callers (page 39).

Audible call for shared phonebook

Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display. If you record an audible call announcement for a shared phonebook entry (page 25), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive a call from that person.

Audible call is available only after subscribing to Caller ID service (page 39).

Night mode

Night mode allows you to select a block of time during which the handset/base unit will not ring, useful if you do not want to be disturbed, for example, while sleeping.

Night mode can be set independently for the handset (page 30) and base unit (page 35).

Digital answering system

Digital answering system allows the unit to answer and record calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone (page 50).

SMS (Short Message Service)

SMS allows you to send and receive text messages between other fixed- line and mobile phones that support compatible SMS networks and features. SMS features are available only after subscribing to Caller ID and/or appropriate service (page 42).
