CALL TIMER

After you press talk/call back on the handset or speaker on the base, the built-in call timer shows in the display and counts the length of time of the call in minutes and seconds.

AUTO STANDBY

Placing the handset in the base cradle while the handset is off hook (during a call) automatically hangs up the handset.

MANUAL CHANNEL SELECTION

While talking, you might need to manually change the channel in order to reduce static caused by baby monitors, garage door openers, or other cordless phones. Press and release the del/chan button on the handset to advance to the next clear channel.

RINGER VOLUME CONTROL

HANDSET

Use the two-position switch on the handset to turn the ringer volume off or on.

BASE UNIT

The base ringer volume is set through the programming menu. Refer to Telephone Set Up for more information.

The ringer switch must be in the ON position for the handset to ring when incoming calls are received.

CALL WAITING

If you subscribe to the combined Call Waiting Caller ID service from your local telephone company, you will receive Caller ID information (if available) on Call Waiting calls. During a phone call you will hear a beep, which indicates another call is waiting on the line, and Caller ID information shows in the display. To connect to the waiting call, press the flash button on the handset or base, and your original call is put on hold. You may switch back and forth between the two calls by pressing the flash button.
