If the BATT LOW indicator does not light, but the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The bat- tery pack charge might be too low to light the indicator.)

If the battery pack gets weak during a call, the handset sounds 4 beeps every 30 seconds and the BATT LOW indicator flashes for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, the phone automati- cally disconnects. If this happens, you must recharge the battery pack before you can make another call.

About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the BATT LOW indicator lights. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

3.When you hear the dial tone, press any number other than 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 .

If the dial tone stops, that line has tone service.

If the dial tone continues, that line has pulse service.

4.Press LINE 2, listen for the dial tone, and repeat Step 3.

If you have tone service on both lines, leave T/P set to T.

If you have pulse service on either line, set T/P to P.

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set T/P (tone/pulse) 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 charged, do this test.

1. Set T/P to T.

2.Lift the handset and press LINE 1.

TURNING THE RINGER ON/OFF

You can turn the ET-689’s ringer on and off. Set RINGER on the side of the handset to ON to hear an incoming call or a page from the base. Set RING- ER to OFF to silence the ringer.

Note: Even if you turn off the ringer on the handset, you can still make or re- ceive calls using this cordless phone. Telephones on the same line still ring when there is an incoming call, and the line indicator on the ET-689’s base flashes until you answer the call.
