SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set DIAL MODE on the back of the base for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, once the battery pack is fully charged, do this test.

1. Be sure DIAL MODE is set to T (tone).

DIAL MODE

2.Lift the handset, press TALK, and listen for a dial tone.

3.Press any number except 0.

Note: If your phone system requires that you dial an access code (9, for example) before you dial an outside number, do not press the access code number either.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave DIAL MODE set to T.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set DIAL MODE to P (pulse).

SETTING THE RINGER TONE/VOLUME

You can select one of four different ringer tone/volume settings on the handset. At any time, except during a call, repeatedly press VOL/CID 8 or 9 to select the desired ringer setting. Each time you press a button, the phone rings at the selected setting and the display shows Ringer A High, Ringer A Low, Ringer B High, or Ringer B Low.

Note: Pressing VOL/CID 8 when the phone is set to Ringer A High or VOL/CID 9 when the phone is set to Ringer B Low does not change the setting. Press the oppo- site arrow key to change the setting.

To set the base’s ringer volume, set RING VOL on the back of the base to OFF, LO, or HI.

Notes:

When you set RING VOL to OFF, the base (and the handset if it is on the base) does not ring but another phone connected to the same line rings. If the handset is away from the base, the handset also rings.

When you set the auto talk function to off, the handset rings when you lift the handset from the base. See “Turning Auto Talk On/Off.”

TURNING AUTO TALK ON/ OFF

Your phone is preset so you must press TALK when you lift the handset from the base to answer a call. With auto talk turned on, you can answer a call by just lifting the hand- set from the base. If the handset is away from the base, you can answer by pressing any key.

Follow these steps to turn auto talk on or off.

1.Lift the handset and hold down CALL ID. A menu appears with Auto Talk selected.

2.Press CH/SELECT to change the auto talk setting. On or Off appears indicat- ing the selected setting.

Return the handset to the base or press to store the new setting.
