Hearing Aid Compatibility

The handset has a special coil inside of it to couple the sound to hearing aids equipped with T-Switches/T-Coils.

Failsafe Power Operation

In the event of a power failure, you can still make and receive calls, but the LCD display, CID/PhoneBook operations, Nightlite, and Extra Loud Ringer will not function. The phone will ring, but not as loud.

Caller ID (CID) and PhoneBook Operations:

There are six buttons that control the CID and PhoneBook operations.

Enter/Dial: (ENTER BUTTON)

If a message waiting access number has been programmed into the phone via the Setup Menu (see page 12), pressing this button when it is flashing will automati- cally dial to retrieve messages.

Mode: (MODE BUTTON)

If in CID mode, pressing MODE will switch to PhoneBook mode. If in Phone Book mode, pressing MODE will switch to stand-by screen. From stand-by mode, holding down the MODE button for 3 seconds will cause the phone to enter the Setup Menu. This button also serves as a New Call indicator.
