Making and answering calls
To answer an incoming call, press PHONE/FLASH
(or any key except OFF/CLEAR, CID/-VOLUME
or DIR /VOLUME+). If you have caller ID service,
the caller’s number and name will appear on the
display screen after the first or second ring (see
page 30 for caller ID features and options).
To make a call, press PHONE/FLASH, then dial a
number. Press OFF/CLEAR or place in charger to
hang up.
To preview numbers before dialing, enter num-
bers first, then press PHONE/FLASH to dial.
Press CID/-VOLUME then INT/DELETE anytime
to make corrections when entering numbers.
NOTE: Only one cordless handset or one cordless handset
and the base can be on a call at a time. If the other cordless
handset attempts to join the call, its screen will display OTHER
HANDSET ON and then OR OUT OF RANGE.
Last number redial
Press REDIAL/PAUS E on the cordless handset to
display the last number called (up to 32 digits). To
dial the number displayed, press PHONE/FLASH.
You can also press PHONE/FLASH and then
REDIAL/PAUSE to dial the last number called with-
out previewing it. To delete this number, press
REDIAL/PAUSE twice. This will clear the redial
memory and leave it blank.
Ring silencing
The cordless handset ringer can be temporarily
turned off by pressing OFF/CLEAR during incom-
ing ringing. You can answer the call, or let the caller
leave a message. This will silence the ringer without
disconnecting the call. If your answering system is
on, the caller will be asked to leave a message (page
38). The next call will ring normally.
