Using Special Features

Using Your Phone During a Power Failure

Because it includes a corded handset, your phone can perform several of its functions during a power failure. The following features will operate during a power failure (all other features are disabled):

Making and receiving calls with the base corded handset.

Changing the volume on the corded handset.

Using Call Waiting on a base corded handset call.

Entering pauses when dialing from the base corded handset.

Only line 1 is available during a power failure.

While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you cannot adjust the volume of this ringer.

Using Do Not Disturb

The Do Not Disturb or DND feature turns off the ringers of the base and all handsets at the same time.

With the phone in standby, press and hold Do not disturb on the base. The phone automatically turns on the answering system and shows Do Not Disturb in the display on all stations.

To cancel, press Do not disturb again.

If you turn the answering system off while DND is on, the phone turns off DND along with the answering system.

Using the Alarm Feature

You can set 3 different alarms on each cordless handset so your phone can remind you of important events. When an alarm is set, the alarm icon () appears on the top of the screen.

2.Select Alarm Setting, then select the alarm (Alarm1, Alarm2, or Alarm3) you want to set.
