Advanced Operations Handset and Base Operation Switching from the Handset Earpiece to Handsfree While on a call using the Handset earpiece, press HANDSFREE on the lower left portion of the Handset. To return to the Handset earpiece, press HANDSFREE again. Base Speakerphone Operation The Base of your GIGAPHONE is equipped with a full duplex Speakerphone. This is a very useful feature for handsfree conversations or conference calls at the base unit. For more information, refer to MAKING CALLS in HANDSET AND BASE OPERATION. Line in Use Indication Active (off-hook) Handsets: During a call, the Handset screen will display, in the upper left corner, the LINE icon(s) and the HANDSET/BASE number(s) (1 - 8; 0 for the Base) currently in use. Base Unit: In either the active or idle mode, the Base screen will display, in the upper left corner, the LINE icon(s) and the HANDSET/BASE number(s) currently in use. Idle (on-hook) Handsets: During a call, the idle Handset(s) will display: When one or both lines are currently in use by a parallel set (a telephone device other than your GIGAPHONE system), all registered Handsets and Base will display: When both lines are in use at the same time, the L_EXTENSION IN USE message will alternate between 1 and 2. Low Battery Indication When a low battery is detected, the Battery icon will flash and a warning beep is played. The status message LOW BATTERY will also be displayed when the Handset is in idle mode. To prevent an unexpected call drop, a drained Handset battery should be replaced by a fully charged spare battery. 33
