Security Code
The security code prevents your cordless telephone conversation from being
accessed by a phone on a different line. Once the handset battery is fully
charged, the handset will automatically select the code from a total of over
65,000 combinations. The code is changed every time the handset is placed in
the cradle (indicated by a beep).
If you experience difficulty with placing or receiving calls, a lost security code
may be the cause of the problem. When this occurs, the handset can no longer
communicate with the base. Reset by placing the handset on the base for 5-10
seconds. If that does not work, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
Disconnect the handset battery for 5-10 seconds and then reconnect. Place the
handset back on the base and then re-plug the AC adapter.
Channel Changing
If you are experiencing interference during a telephone call, press the c
key. The BE-3872 will scan up to 50 channels and select the clearest one to
provide the best possible reception.
Out of Range Warning
If the handset is moving too far away from the base, the phone will sound a
beep to warn you that it is out of range. Move closer to the base to end the
beeping and maintain the connection on your phone call. Otherwise, the call
may be disconnected.

ANSWERING SYSTEM SETUP
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper operation of your BE-3872:
1. Press the [Reset] button on the left side of the Base prior to initial use.
2. Wait for at least 45 seconds after plugging the AC adapter into the phone
before operating your answering system.
Setting the Ring Count
The ring count setting will prompt the BE-3872
to pick up an incoming call with the answering
machine after 3, 5, or TS (tollsaver 3/5) rings.
There is a Ring Select switch on the side of the
base; adjust this switch to the number of rings
that you desire.
3r: The unit will pick up after three rings.
5r: The unit will pick up after five rings.
TS: The answering machine will pick up after five rings if there are no new
messages or after three rings if there are. This enables you to hang up after the
fourth ring when checking your messages remotely (which saves toll charges),
since you know there are no new messages.
