OPERATION

MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL

You can use your cordless telephone at the base or away from the base. Ful- ly extend the handset’s antenna.

Using the Handset

at the Base

You can use the handset at the base like a regular corded telephone. Just set POWER to ON and place the hand- set in the base.

To answer a call, lift the handset from the base.

To make a call, lift the handset from the base and press TALK so the key- pad and the CHARGE/TALK indicator on the base light.

To disconnect a call, replace the hand- set on the base.

Using the Handset

Away from the Base

To make or answer a call, set POWER to ON and press TALK. The keypad light and the CHARGE/TALK indicator turn on.

To disconnect a call, press TALK so the keypad light and the CHARGE/ TALK indicator turn off.

Notes:

•To conserve battery power, you can turn off the handset's power when you are not making or answering a call. The ET-539 does not ring when it receives an incoming call with the handset's power turned off. However, other phones on the same line still ring. To answer the call using the cord- less phone, turn on the handset and press TALK.

•You can make or answer a call on a phone on the same line as the cordless phone, even if the hand- set is away from the base.
