the batteries before the memories stored are lost. Please read the

instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries

ready to be inserted beforehand.

The REDIAL/pause button has dual functionality and becomes a pause

button when pressed in sequence after the STORE button. It is valid only

when storing a number into memory locations. Use the REDIAL/pause

button to insert a pause when a delay is needed in an automatic dialing

sequence. For example, when you must dial a 9 to get an outside line or

when you enter codes to access your long distance company.

NOTE: A pause is 3 seconds in length and you can store more than

one, if a longer pause is needed.

Pre-Dialing

1. With the handset on the cradle, enter the telephone number you wish

to call. The telephone number shows in the display.

2. Lift the handset or press the

SPEAKER

button and the number

automatically dials.

NOTE: Use the DELETE button to delete an incorrectly entered

number.

Troubleshooting Tips

No Dial Tone

• Check all cabling to make sure that all connections are secure and not

damaged.

• Check hook switch: Does it fully extend when handset is lifted from

cradle?

No Information is Shown After the Phone Rings

• Are you subscribed to Caller ID service from your local telephone

company?

• Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering.

Phone Does Not Ring

Incoming Voice Volume Low

as volume drops when additional phones are used at once.

Memory Dialing

Make sure you entered the numbers correctly into memory.

General Product Care

• Avoid putting it near heating appliances and devices that generate

electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
