CHAIN DIALING FROM MEMORY
Use this feature to make calls which require a sequence of numbers, for instance if you
use a calling card for a frequently called long distance number. The following example
shows how you can use chain dialing to make a call through a long distance service:
The Number For Memory Location
Long distance access number 7
Authorization code 8
Frequently called long distance number 9
1. Make sure the phone is ON.
2. Press MEM and then press 7.
3. When you hear the access tone, press MEM and then press 8.
4. At the next access tone, press MEM and then 9.
TIP: Don’t get in too big of a hurry. Wait for the access tones before pressing the next
memory button, or your call might not go through.
TEMPORARY TONE
This feature enables pulse (rotary) service phone users to access touch-tone services
offered by banks, credit card companies, etc. Press the TONE button to temporarily
make the phone touch-tone compatible. To get information about your bank account,
for example, you would:
1. Call the bank’s information line.
2. Press the TONE key, denoted with (*)
on the keypad, when your call is answered.
3. Follow the voice menu instructions to get the information. When you hang up, the
phone goes back to pulse (rotary) service.
REMOTE ACCESS
This section explains two types of remote access: using the handset to access the
answering machine and accessing the answering machine from another phone.
The handset contains integrated buttons that enable you access the answering
machine with the handset.
You can also access your answering machine from any phone that is tone-dial
compatible by entering a 3-digit security code after you hear the outgoing
announcement. A voice menu system guides you through all of the procedures.
USING THE HANDSET
Press the ANSWER button to access the answering machine from the cordless
handset.
After you access the answerer, use the marked handset keys just as if you were
pressing the corresponding buttons on the base (see "Answering Machine Operation"
for details on functions). To make it easy for you, the functions are listed on the handset
above each number. For example, to play messages:
1. Press the ANSWER button.
2. Press 2 (PLAY/STOP).
3. When you are finished listening to your messages, press ANSWER again.
ANSWERER INDICATOR
You know the answerer is being accessed by the handset when the ANS. indicator
comes on.
SCREENING CALLS FROM THE HANDSET
Use the handset to screen calls even when you can't hear the answering machine.
When the phone rings:
1. Press the ANSWER button to gain access to the answering machine.
2. Listen to the caller leaving a message.
3. Press the TALK button to talk to the person or press ANSWER to stop
screening the call.
MEMORY FULL
When the memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings, beeps and waits for the
caller to enter the 3-digit security code. If you don't enter the security code within 10
seconds after the unit beeps, the phone hangs up.
You need to erase some of the messages in order for the system to record new
incoming messages.
NOTE: The unit also answers after the 10th ring if it is turned off. To access the answerer
from another location, enter your 3-digit security code after you hear the beep.
ACCESSING THE ANSWERER FROM ANOTHER
PHONE
You can access your answering machine from a touch-tone phone by entering your 3-
digit security code after you hear the outgoing announcement.
1. Dial the phone number for the answering machine.
2. Enter the security code after you hear the tone.
3. Follow the voice menu to use the answerer's remote functions.
The remote feature enables you to perform the following functions:
To Press this Button
Review message 1
Play back messages 2
Stop message playback 2
Erase message 0 (during message
playback)
Skip message
Turn off answerer 4
Review voice menu options 7
TIP: You can bypass the outgoing announcement by pressing any numbered key on the
keypad while the announcement is playing. Then, you can enter your security code to
access the answering machine.
CHANGING THE SECURITY CODE
The default security code for accessing the answerer from another location is 1 2 3.
You must use the handset to change the security code. With the phone off, follow
these steps:
1. Press ANSWER (the ANS. indicator comes on).
2. Press TONE (*).
3. Enter 3 numbers to be used as the new security code.
4. Press TONE (*) again.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
Make sure the telephone is OFF before you replace battery.
1. Remove the battery compartment door.
2. Disconnect the cord attached to the battery pack and remove
the battery pack from the handset.
3. Insert the new battery pack and connect the cord to the jack
inside the handset.
4. Put the battery compartment door back on.
5. Place handset in the base to charge.
Allow the handset battery to properly charge (for 12 hours)
prior to first use or when you install a new battery pack. If
you don’t properly charge the phone, battery performance will
be compromised.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the battery
listed in the instruction book.
