On/off/protected mode

You can switch your handset

●to protected mode,

●off,

When the handset is in protected mode, it is protected against inadvertent use. The handset switches on auto- matically to receive incoming calls. If you want to make an outgoing call, you will have to switch the handset on first.

When the handset is switched off, incoming calls are not signalled. If you want to make an outgoing call, you will have to switch the handset on first.

To preserve the batteries, we recommend that you switch off the handset if you move outside the base station radio range.
