OPERATION
MAKING AND
RECEIVING CALLS
To make or answer a call, lift the hand-
set. Or, if the handset is not in place on
the base, press
TALK . The TALK/
BATT LOW indicator on the handset
and the IN USE indicator on the base
light.
To end a call, place the handset on the
base or press
TALK so the TALK/BATT
LOW indicator turns off.
Note: If you press TALK to hang up the
phone and the phone does not discon-
nect, press
TALK again while holding
the handset closer to the base or place
the handset on the base.
SELECTING THE
CHANNEL
The phone scans 40 channels (fre-
quency pairs used between the base
and the handset) and automatically se-
lects a clear channel each time you
make or receive a call.
If you hear other conversations or ex-
cessive noise during a call, press
CH to
select a different channel. The TALK/
BATT LOW indicator blinks, and the
handset beeps, followed by a brief
pause as your phone searches for a
clear channel.
Note: If the handset is too far from the
base, the channel might not change.
Move closer to the base and try again.
SETTING THE HANDSET
VOLUME
To change the volume you hear
through the handset, press
VOLUME
during a call. The handset volume has
two settings, high or low.
USING REDIAL

aled. When you hear a dial tone, sim-
ply press
