Changing the Line Mode for Multiple Extensions

Line mode refers to the method that telephones use to signal each other that an extension is in use. Customer service may recommend changing the line mode if you have any of the following problems:

•Your phone keeps ringing after someone answers on an extension phone.

•Your answering system doesn’t stop recording when you answer on an extension phone.

•Caller ID displays briefly and then clears.

1)If you set from a handset and you have multiple bases, select the base that is having problems (see page 15).

2)Press Menu/Select.

3)Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Set Line Mode submenu.

4)If Instructed by Customer Service Press [select] appears. Press Menu/Select.

5)Move the cursor to select Type - A, Type - B, or Off.

6)Press Menu/Select. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Traveling Out of Range

When the handset is in standby, the handset will display Out Of Range.

During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the base, the handset will beep, display Out Of Range, and then go to standby. The base will maintain the connection for thirty seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within

thirty seconds, press TALK/Flash or to pick up the call again.

Note: If it is set to automatically select the available base, the handset will begin searching for another base thirty seconds after going out of range. (see Selecting the base on page 15).
