OPERATION
Before using your cordless telephone, you must install and charge its battery (see “Installing the Battery” and “Charging the Battery”). For the best operation, make sure the base’s an- tenna is fully extended.
MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL
You can use your cordless telephone in two ways: at the base or away from the base.
Using the Handset at the Base
You can use the handset at the base like a regular corded telephone. Place the handset in the cradle. The base rings whether RINGER ON/OFF on the handset is set to ON or OFF.
To answer a call, just lift the handset from the base.
To make a call, lift the handset from the base and press TALK so the IN USE indicator lights.
To disconnect a call, replace the hand- set on the base.
Using the Handset Away from the Base
To use the handset away from the base, press TALK to make or answer a call. The IN USE indicator on the hand- set lights.
To disconnect a call, press TALK so the IN USE indicator on the handset turns off.
Notes:
•Press TALK so the IN USE indica- tor turns off when you are not making or answering a call, to conserve battery power and leave the phone line available.
•You can make or answer a call on another phone on the same phone line, even if the handset is away from the base.
