telephone is reset or powered on.
The following actions may cause an error tone:
o Pressing an invalid button combination.
o Selecting a restricted feature.
o Dialing a restricted or invalid number.
o Dialing too slowly between digits.
o Waiting too long before performing the next step.
To correct an error tone, hang up and try again.
Many features "time-out" if you wait too long before performing the next step. If this
happens, you must start over.
"Off-hook" means the handset is lifted. "On-hook" means the handset is in the cradle.
If your telephone does not have a lamp under the speaker button, the large message
indicator lamp on the top right of the telephone indicates that the speakerphone is in use.
Do not cradle the handset: Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder, or
back discomfort, especially if you cradle the handset between your neck and shoulder. If
you frequently use the telephone, you might find a headset more comfortable. See
"Headset Instructions" on page
Adjust the viewing angle: The built-in stand tilts to give you a better view of the buttons.
