OPERATION
Receiver Volume Control
The Receiver Volume Control can be adjusted for a comfortable
listening level. The switch has variable volume positions.
Redial
The telephone always stores in memory the last phone number
dialed. To dial the same number again, lift the handset and
press .
Erasing Redial
For privacy, you can erase the redial memory. Lift the handset,
then press any digit (1-9).
Mute
Hold down to turn off the handset microphone. You can
then talk privately to someone else in the room without the
person on the phone hearing you. You will still be able to hear
the other person, but anything you say will not be heard. When
you release the button, your caller will again be able to hear
your voice.
Ringer Volume Control
The RINGER switch allows you to turn the telephone ringer OFF,
or set it to ring at LO or HI volume. You can dial or answer calls
normally when the ringer is off. Other telephones in your home
will still ring; they are not affected by the switch.
Temporary Tone Dialing
Temporary tone dialing is used only when you have rotary
service. This is useful if you need to send tone signals for
access for telephone banking or long-distance services.
To change from pulse (rotary) to tone dialing during a call:
1. With the Dial Mode switch set to
DP (dial pulse), dial a telephone
number.
2. Press ; all buttons pressed
after this will send tone signals.
3. After you hang up, the phone auto-
matically returns to rotary service.

If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the
suggestions below.
No Dial Tone
☞Make sure all plugs are connected properly. Inspect the
line cord connections at the modular jack and at the
telephone. Also inspect the coiled handset cord
connections at both ends.
☞Unplug the telephone and connect it to another modular
jack. If it still does not work, try another telephone; if
neither telephone works, the problem is not in this
telephone. The trouble may be caused by local
telephone company lines, central office equipment, or
the wiring in your home.
Calls Cannot Be Dialed, Or Are Dialed Slowly
This product comes set in the tone (TT) mode. Make sure
you choose the correct dialing method (TT/DP); touch tone
dialing will not work if you have dial pulse service.
Telephone Does Not Ring
☞Make sure the RINGER Volume switch is not set to OFF.
☞If there are several other phones on the same line, try
disconnecting some of the other telephones. Having too
many telephones can also create problems such as low
ringer volume or impaired quality during calls.
