Speakerphone 882,
Personal
Information
Center
The 2-Line Speakerphone 882, Personal Information Center has
been designed to meet standards for convenient, reliable service.
To get the most from this telephone, please read this manual
carefully. It explains in simple steps how to install, use and care
for this 882 phone.
You can use the phone as a personal directory, storing names with
phone numbers and other important information. The 882 also
provides a calendar to assist in time management.
The 882 has unique keys that make setting up your directory or
using other functions very easy. It is important to understand how
to use these keys - especially the Cursor Control and the Soft Keys
- so you can perform these functions successfully. The Cursor
Control moves to a location where you will type in your
information. (See page 7 for further explanations of the 882 keys.)
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your local telephone
company, your 882 makes using this service more convenient. The
882 displays the name and number of the calling party after the
second ring and keeps a log of the calls.
Caller Identification Service is provided by your local telephone
company. There is a fee for this service and it may not be
available in all areas. This product cannot identify calls from areas
not served by your local telephone company. It can display
information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering
Caller Identification Service and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment.
The 882 provides you with the following telephone features:
Speakerphone for hands-free talking
Speakerphone Volume Control
Enhanced Handset Volume Control
Ringer Volume Controls
Redial Log (DiLog) of last five numbers dialed
AutoDial, Hold, Mute
Keyboard for easy entry of names and information
Personal Directory for storing names, numbers and information
Calendar/Reminder for storing 50 timed reminders
Alerts you when reminders occur

This phone is designed to work with two telephone lines. In some
homes, both lines are wired into the same jack. If you are not sure if
your jack is wired for two lines (two different phone numbers from

power.
