5-A Handset Locator

You can locate the handset or page the handset user with beep tones.
1
Press (HANDSET!LOCATOR)on the base unit.
The IN USE/CHARGE indicator flashes and the handset beeps for 1 minute.
2
To stop paging, press (HANDSET!LOCATOR) again or press (TALK)twice on the handset.

5-B Automatic Security Code Setting

Whenever you place the handset on the base unit, the unit automatically selects one of 65,000 security
codes. These codes help prevent the unauthorized use of your telephone line by another cordless
telephone user.

5-C Using the PAUSE Button

(For PBX Line/Long Distance Calls)
We recommend you press (PAUSE) if a pause is required for dialling with a PBX or to make a long
distance call.
Eg: Line access number (9) (PBX)
(9) \(PAUSE) \
Pressing (PAUSE)once creates a 3.5 second pause. This prevents misdialling when you redial or dial
a stored number.
Pressing (PAUSE) more than once increases the length of the pause between numbers.

5-D RECALL Button

Pressing (RECALL)allows you to use special features of your host PBX such as transferring an
extension call or accessing optional telephone services such as call waiting.
Selecting the recall time
The recall time depends on your telephone exchange or host PBX. You can select the following recall
times: “90, 100, 110, 250, 300, 400, 600 or 700 msec (milliseconds)”. KX-TC2000AL comes from the
factory set to “100 msec” and KX-TC2000NZ comes set to “600 msec”.
The TALK indicator light must be off before programming.
Press (PROGRAM) \\(AUTO) \(RECALL).
A beep sounds.
If 3 beeps sound after programming, a wrong key was pressed. Start again from the beginning.
Users in Australia can access Telstra’s “EASY CALL” service by having the recall time set at 100
msec (this is the factory default setting), and then follow Telstra’s “EASY CALL” instructions to operate
this service.
If the unit is connected via a PBX, PBX functions (transferring a call etc.) might not work correctly.
Consult your PBX supplier for the correct setting.
When you receive a second call during a conversation, you will hear a signal tone following the call
waiting tone and the conversation will be interrupted for approximately a second. The tones are
generated from the telephone company. This is not fault of the product as these events are normal.
1: 90 msec 2: 100 msec 3: 110 msec 4: 250 msec

Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust or
humidity. Otherwise the battery may not charge properly.
If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset

maximize the battery life.
The battery cannot be overcharged.
