Telephone Operation

Redial

This unit redials up to 32 digits. To automatically redial the last number you called:

1.Pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.

2.Press the redial button.

Flash

Press the flash button instead of the hook switch to activate custom calling services such as call waiting or call transfer. Custom calling services are provided by the phone company.

Receiver Volume

You may control the listening level with the volume switch on the bottom of the handset. It has 3 levels: lo, mid, and high.

Ringer Volume

You may control the ringer volume level with the switch located above the touch tone pad on the handset.

= ringer tone will be loud

= ringer tone will be low = telephone will not ring

Troubleshooting Tips

No dial tone.

Press and release the hook switch. Check the hook switch: Does it fully extend when the handset is lifted from the cradle?

Phone doesn’t ring.

Make sure RINGER switch (located on the handset) is set to loud or low.

Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN of all phones on the same line should not be greater than the maximum REN for your calling area. See Equipment Approval Information).

Other party cannot hear you.

Make sure phone cord is securely plugged in.

Make sure extension phones are on the hook at the same time you’re using the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when additional extension phones are used at the same time.

Phone “howls” when handset is placed near the base and handset volume level is too high.

This is normal feedback due to handset volume level being set to maximum.

General Product Care

To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:

Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).

DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.

Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone.

Clean with a soft cloth.

Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.

Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.
