Operation
Note: If you select an empty memory loca-
tion, the base beeps.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

For quick recall of numbers for special ser-
vices (such as bank by phone), store each
group of numbers in its own memory loca-
tion. Dial the service’s main number first.
Then, at the appropriate place in the call,
press MEM and the number for the location
where the additional information is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency Num-

bers

If you store an emergency service’s number
(police department, fire department, ambu-
lance) and you choose to test the stored
number, make the test call during the late
evening or early morning hours to avoid peak
demand periods. Also, remain on the line to
explain the reason for your call.
USING A HEADSET
You can talk with hands-free convenience
using an optional headset that has a 3/32 -
inch (2.5-mm) plug. Contact your local Ra-
dioShack store for a suitable headset.
To connect the headset, open the rubber
cover marked on the side of the handset,
then insert the headset’s plug into the jack.
Notes:
• Connecting a headset disconnects the
handset’s earpiece and microphone.
•VOL/CID 8 or 9 on the handset also
controls the connected headset’s vol-
ume.
• If you place the handset on the base to
recharge it while the headset is con-
nected, be sure the handset seats prop-
erly.
With a headset connected, you can make or
answer calls as usual using the speaker-
phone or the keys on the handset.
You can use a handset holder (available
from your local RadioShack store) to hang
the handset on your belt for greater conve-
nience.
When you finish using the headset, discon-
nect it from the handset and close the rubber
cover to protect the jack.
CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive.
The phone displays this information after the
second ring, and it stores up to 50 Caller ID
records for later review. It also shows if caller
information is unavailable or if the name and
number were blocked by the caller (“Caller
ID Messages” on Page 20).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller
ID, you will hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears. If you want to answer the in-
coming call, press FLASH. To resume the
previous phone conversation, press FLASH
again.
If the phone’s Caller ID memory becomes
full, any new call replaces the oldest call’s
record.

Reviewing Caller ID Records

If the handset is faceup on the base, it shows
the number of new Caller ID records, if any,
and the total number of records.
To review the contents of each Caller ID
record, lift the handset and press CALL ID to
recall the number of records on the display.
