Handset Operation

Handsfree Speakerphone Operation

Your GIGAPHONE handset has a built-in handsfree speakerphone. This feature allows you to stand the Handset upright on a table or desktop and have handsfree conversations. For more information, refer to MAKING CALLS in HANDSET.

Line in Use Indication

On the Handset :

When the telephone line is currently being used by a GIGAPHONE Handset, a status message similar to this will display on idle Handset(s):

When the telephone line is currently being used by a parallel set (a telephone device other than the GIGAPHONE on the same line); the phone icon will remain on steadily, and EXTENSION IN USE will be displayed.

Low Battery Indication

When a low battery is detected, the Battery icon will flash and a warning beep is played. The status message LOW BATTERY will also be displayed when the Handset is in idle mode. To prevent an unexpected call drop, a drained Handset battery should be replaced by a fully charged spare battery.

Message Waiting Indication

The GIGAPHONE is compatible with optional voicemail service provided by some local telephone companies. If you subscribe to this service, and you have new, unplayed messages in your voicemail, a Visual Message Waiting Indicator (VMWI) signal is transmitted by your local telephone company.

The GIGAPHONE will detect a VMWI signal and activate Visual Message Waiting alerts both on the Base Unit and Handset.

After you check your messages, the Message Waiting indicators will automatically turn off.

Please note that whenver new, unplayed messages are stored in your voicemail, the local Telephone Company will continue to send a VMWI signal.

NOTE: The visual MESSAGE WAITING feature requires a signal from your local telephone company called FSK (Frequency Shift Keying). Not all local phone companies can provide this signal. The audible stutter dial tone alone will not activate the Message Waiting feature on this telephone. Please check with your local service provider if the FSK signal is available in your area.
