PAGE 12 BASIC OPERATION (CONT.) MULTIPLE HANDSET SIMULTANEOUS CONVERSATIONS The unit is a multiple handset system, but the transceiver design can only allow one handset at a time to talk with an outside caller. A handset can transfer a call to another handset (see Transferring a Call, on page 12). When a handset is talking to an outside caller, another handset cannot join in the conversation. The other handset can, however, intercom a different handset and have an internal conversation. TRANSFERRING A CALL 1 During a phone conversation, press HLD/XFR on the handset. 2 Dial the desired handset ID number. 3 The other handset will ring to indicate the incoming transferred call. NOTE: s If you do not enter a station number within 10 seconds, the display will return to standby with the call on hold. ANSWERING A TRANSFERRED CALL 1 Pick-up the handset and press one of the TALK buttons (q or ❍). 2 The call will be transferred to the new handset, and will be released from the other handset. TRANSFERRED CALL ALERT If a transferred call is not answered within 3 minutes, all handsets will start to ring to remind all of the stations of the unanswered call. An icon will flash in the LCD to indicate the transferred line. Any handset may answer the transferred call at this time. MUTE FUNCTION The mute feature turns off the microphone so the other party cannot hear you. You, however, are still able to hear the other party. The mute feature automatically cancels when you let go of the Mute key. To initiate the mute feature during a conversation, 1 Press and HOLD MUTE, on the side of the handset. The LCD will display: Mute 00:14 2 To resume your conversation, release MUTE. PAGE 13 TONE/PULSE MIXED DIALING This feature is useful if your telephone service is PULSE and you need to use TONE dialing to access a special service. This feature is only needed if you have programmed the TONE/PULSE setting to PULSE mode. 1 Dial the telephone number and wait for the line to connect. 2 Press ❋ TONE on the handset to temporarily change from PULSE dialing to TONE dialing. 3 Dial the tone numbers (such as automated menu choices). 4 Hang up and the unit automatically returns to the PULSE mode. DO NOT DISTURB (DND) FEATURE This feature can be used to temporarily prevent interruptions during meetings or telephone conversations. When you activate the DND feature on a handset, the handset will not ring for incoming calls, transferred calls, or intercom calls. 1 From standby mode, press FCN and then press DND (the "4" key). Ring: DND ID:20 2 To cancel the DND mode, press FCN and press DND again. OUT OF RANGE WARNING The unit has an operating range which can vary, depending on conditions such as climate, altitude, and the type of obstacles between the handset and the base. If you move out of the base unit's operating range, the LCD will display "Out of Range" and you will hear a double beep warning tone. Move closer to the base unit to deactivate the warning. If you remain out of range for too long, the unit will place the call on hold. Go back into range and pick up the held call.
