- progressive practice in the use of these services and functions, divided into five
sections:
 General
 Your calls
 For your convenience
 While you are away
 Using your terminal in GAP mode (description of utilisation and partial operation

Whatever you need from a telephone system, your DECT terminal and your Alcatel
4400 system will provide it.

Depending on your system configuration, your terminal can be single-line (no line keys)
or multi-line (you have two line keys).
On a multi-line terminal, the enquiry call function can be configured in one of two
modes:
- single-line (or PABX) mode,
- multi-line (or key system) mode.
This difference notably implies different activation of the enquiry call, broker call and
transfer functions, depending on the selected mode.
Note: for further details concerning your system configuration, consult your system manager.

Your telephone has a display screen, with two lines of 16 characters each.
The 1st line gives general information and the 2nd line shows the symbols for the keys
programmed and the status of the set.
- Terminal idle (display screen also obtained by pressing ):
1st line: date and time or blank.
2nd line: set locked, lock keypad, radio signal level, battery charge status
- During a call:
1st line: informations sur votre correspondant et sur la conversation en cours.
2nd line: radio signal level and symbols indicating current call status.
When the terminal is idle, it goes into standby after a few seconds, and the display
screen then only shows the receive symbol and the battery symbol.
LLiinnee kkeeyyss
In multi-line configuration, the set has two line keys which can be used to make or
receive a call.
In single-line configuration, the left-hand key cancels an enquiry call and the
right-hand key provides transition between the two calls.

The DECT functions of your Alcatel system manage subscriber mobility, using DECT
portable telephones.
Alcatel system radio coverage is provided by a number of base stations, transmitting
within a radius of 20 m to 150 m (depending on the environment). The area covered
by a base station is called a cell.
RRoouuttiinngg
Outgoing calls can be made or incoming calls can be received, in any cell.
This telephone is not designed to be used inside a vehicle.
RRaaddiioo ttrraannssffeerr
Radio transfer enables a user to move between cells during a conversation. This function
is automatic, with no loss of communication. In some cases, slight crackling may be
audible in the telephone at the instant of transfer.
