You can use the number keypad on your handset to enter text by referring to the letters printed on each number key. When you
press the number key in a text entry field, the phone displays the first letter printed on the number key. Press the number key
twice to display the second letter and three times to display the third. Capital letters are displayed first, then lower case letters,
then the number on the key.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first letter, then use [right] or [left] on four-way function key to move
the cursor to the next position to enter the second letter. For example, to enter Movies:
1) Press 6 once to enter M.
2) Use [right] on four-way function key to move the cursor to the right.
3) Press 6 six times to enter o.
4) Press 8 six times to enter v.
5) Press 4 six times to enter i.
6) Press 3 five times to enter e.
7) Press 7 eight times to enter s.
8) Press the OK soft key to end your text entry.
If you make a mistake while entering a name, use [right] or [left] on four-way function key to move the cursor to the incorrect
character. Press the DELETE soft key to erase the wrong character, and then enter the correct character. To delete all
characters, press and hold the DELETE soft key.
Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
<<add pix here>>
•
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a
switch).
•
The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and
fluorescent lighting.
•
For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
•
The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
•
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
Note: For maximum range:
•
Keep the antenna free of obstruction.
•
When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
•
Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. <<Insert picture like TRU8885 OM, page 9>>
•
Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
