The ET-521 displays the current channel number until you dial the phone number. Then the phone number appears, fol- lowed by the duration of your call (after 15 seconds) in minutes and seconds.

Notes:

If you press TALK to hang up and the phone does not disconnect, move closer to the base then press TALK again, or place the handset on the base.

If you want to make a call but the AC adapter is not properly connected or the handset is out of the base’s range, Try again appears and the handset beeps twice. Be sure the AC adapter is correctly and securely connected, move the handset closer to the base, then try again.

If you turn off the ringer, Ringer OFF appears for about 12 seconds when you end a call.
