Battery Saver Feature

Set the RINGER switch on the side of the handset to OFF to prevent
the handset from ringing. (Your handset may still display Caller ID
information or page up to 15 seconds after you set the switch to OFF.)

When the ringer switch is set to OFF, the handset stays ready to use for
up to 21 days in standby mode before you have to return it to the base for
recharging. You can still use the handset to make a call or to answer a call
if you hear an extension phone ringing. When the switch is set to OFF,
the screen will not display incoming call information, but the informa-
tion will be stored in the call history.

When the ringer switch is set to ON, the handset stays ready to use for up
to 12 days.

Handset Volume

The handset volume can be set to three different levels. Each
time you press V the level changes.

Temporary Tone

NOTE: If you have touch tone service, you don’t need to use the
Temporary Tone feature.

If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, this feature allows you to
enter codes or tones needed to operate answering machines, or
use electronic banking services, calling cards, and other special
services. This feature will operate most special services; how-
ever, some services may actually require a touch tone line. To be
sure, ask the company that provides the special service.
