For Users on Resilient 3300 ICP Systems

If during a call, you hear two beeps repeated every 20 seconds it means that your phone is switching to a secondary 3300 ICP system. The call continues and there is a change in the operation of some keys and features on your phone. Normal operation resumes when your phone switches back to the primary system. If your phone is idle and switched to the secondary system, you'll see a flashing rectangle on the display. The rectangle remains until the switch to the primary system is complete.

TIPS FOR YOUR COMFORT AND SAFETY

Don't cradle the handset!

Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder, or back discomfort, especially if you cradle the handset between your ear and shoulder. If you use your phone a lot, you may find it more comfortable to use a headset. See the section on headset usage elsewhere in this guide for more information.
