Feature highlights
Colour display
The handset’s colour display allows you to customise the handset to your
liking. You can customise the handset by selecting the “wallpaper” pattern
shown on the display in standby mode (page 28). If you set the wallpaper
to “Off”, the display colour (page 28) setting will be used instead.
Phonebooks
This unit provides the handset phonebook (200 names and phone
numbers; page 19) and the shared phonebook (20 names and phone
numbers; page 22). These phonebooks allow you to make calls without
having to dial manually. For handset phonebook, you can assign each
handset phonebook entry to the desired category, and search for handset
phonebook entries by name or category.
Handset phonebook category
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, handset phonebook categories (page
19) can help you identify who is calling by using different display colours
and ringtones for different categories of callers (page 36).
Audible call for shared phonebook
Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display.
If you record an audible call announcement for a shared phonebook entry
(page 22), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive
a call from that person.
Audible call is available only after subscribing to Caller ID service (page
37).
Night mode
Night mode allows you to select a block of time during which the
handset/base unit will not ring, useful if you do not want to be disturbed, for
example, while sleeping.
Night mode can be set independently for the handset (page 27) and base
unit (page 32).
Digital answering system
Digital answering system allows the unit to answer and record calls for you
when you are unavailable to answer the phone (page 47).
