Summary of the Main Menu and Submenu
DirectLink Mode
Select this menu to enter the handset into DirectLink mode. If you have 2 or more
handsets, a pair of handsets work as transceivers. Use them at sporting events to stay
in contact with family and friends, or at a shopping mall. To use this feature, you
must set the two handsets to the DirectLink mode first (see page 24).
This menu only applies when you have 2 or more handsets.
Handset Setup
All settings must be set separately for each handset in the Handset Setup menu.
Submenu name
Ringer Volume Adjust the ringer volume (see page 24).
Ringer Tones Adjusting the ringer tone (see page 25).
Distinct. Ring Set the distinctive ring (see page 25). "Distinctive Ringer" allows you to
(Distinctive ring) preset memory locations with a designated ring tone. When an incoming call
is received and the Caller ID information matches the information in one of
the memory locations, the distinctive ring that has been stored for that
particular Caller will sound.
If you have set multiple memory locations with distinctive rings, switching
the setting to "Distinctive Off" will result in no distinctive ringing. All
incoming calls will have a normal ring tone. Switching to "Distinctive On" will
activate all programmed distinctive ring memory locations.
