Telephone Operation

Making a Call

You can make calls from the handset anywhere within range of the base.
Press PHONE. When you see the PHONE Light go on and hear a dial tone, dial the number you're calling.
If you make a mistake when dialing, press OFF to hang up, then press PHONE to get the dial tone again.
You must always press PHONE before dialing a call.

Answering a Call

If the RINGER switch is in the ON position, the handset will ring when you have an incoming call.
If the handset is in the base, pick it up. The call will be connected automatically. If the handset is away
from the base, press PHONE. The PHONE Light will light and you'll be connected to the call.
Ending a Call
If you are near the base, you can place the handset back in the base to end the call.
If you have the handset away from the base, you must press OFF to end the call – otherwise your phone
will be "off the hook" and callers will get a busy signal.
Redial
Your telephone can redial the last number dialed from the handset. Press PHONE for the dial tone, then
press REDIAL. The phone number will remain in the redial memory until you use the handset to dial
another number.
Special Telephone Services
If you subscribe to special services like Call Waiting or Call Forwarding, press and release PHONE on the
handset whenever you would normally press the switchhook on a regular phone. This is just like the Flash
feature on some other phones.

Temporary Tone

If you have dial pulse (rotary) telephone service, this feature lets you enter the codes or tones needed to
operate answering machines, or to use electronic banking services, calling cards, and other special services.
First dial the call normally. Then turn on the Temporary Tone feature by pressing the *TONE key. You
can then press the numbers or symbols you need and your phone wills end the proper signals.
To end the call, press OFF, or place the handset back in the base. The phone will automatically switch
back to dial pulse.
The Temporary Tone feature will operate most special services over a dial pulse line. However, some
services may actually require a touch tone line. To be sure, ask the company that provides the special
service.
NOTE: If you have touch tone service, you do not need to use the Temporary Tone feature. This
feature is used only when the phone is set for dial pulse dialing.
