LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) OVERVIEW
The 900 MHz handset has a two line LCD display.
Each line displays up to 16 alphanumeric characters.
While in Battery Save mode the base station does not
send LCD information to the 900 MHz handset while it
is idle, except in the following cases.
• When the 900 Mhz handset has a call holding.
• If the base station detects the key telephone has
a call holding.
If the base station detects either condition above, the
first line of the LCD is idled and the second line
displays the identity of the party on hold. If a holding
call isn’t detected, the LCD is cleared immediately
after the base station is set to IDLE. If the 900 MHz
handset is idle and a holding call is diconnected, the
LCD goes blank.
The base station memorizes the last first and second
lines of the LCD. This feature allows the 900 MHz
handset to re-display information about the last call.
When the base station receives either first or second
lines of information from the DBS while the 900 MHz
handset is in use, it replaces the memory, and sends
both first or second lines of data to the handset.
When placing a call the base station does not send
display updates, it displays the number you are
dialing. When an incoing call is received, the base
station transmits the LCD information to the 900 MHz
Handset.
