ET-385  (430-0570)              Operation             Faxback Doc. # 6279

This phone is ready to operate after you properly install the base and
remote unit as described in Faxback document # 6278.  Be sure that the 
remote unit's POWER ON/Off switch is ON before you try to use the phone.

SETTING THE POWER ON/OFF SWITCH

You must set the POWER ON/OFF switch to OFF to conserve the remote unit's
battery power when not in use for several days.

The POWER ON/OFF switch only affects the ring of incoming telephone
calls.  Therefore, other products that you might connect to the telephone
line (answering machine, modem, and so on) receive calls as usual.

SETTING THE PULSE/TONE SWITCH

Set the PULSE/TONE switch (located under the remote unit's keypad) to the
type of telephone service you have.  Use PULSE for pulse (rotary) service
and TONE for (touch-tone) service.

If you are not sure which type of service you have, do this simple test.

1.  Set the remote unit's POWER ON/OFF switch to ON. (See "Setting the
    Power ON/OFF Switch.")

2.  Set the PULSE/TONE switch to TONE.

3.  Lift the remote unit's handset and listen for a dial tone.

4.  When you hear a dial tone, press one of the number keys on the remote
    unit's keypad.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch tone service.  Leave the PULSE/
TONE switch set to TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse (rotary) service.  Set the
PULSE/TONE switch to PULSE.

Do not change the PULSE/TONE switch during a phone call.

PLACING AND RECEIVING A CALL

To place a phone call, lift the phone's handset, listen for a dial tone,
and enter the desired number on the remote unit's keypad.

Notes:

  In the pulse mode, the phone sounds a key-entry tone (a very short
  beep) when you enter a key on the remote unit's keypad.  If you
  accidentally press two keys at the same time, nothing sounds and the
  phone does not accept either key entry.  Simply press the desired key
  again.

  If you enter a wrong digit, press the handset's switchhook to hang up.
  Then, enter the complete phone number again.

To end a call, return the handset to the remote unit's cradle.

The remote unit rings when the base receives an incoming call.  To answer
the call, lift the remote units handset and begin
your conversation.

PHONE NUMBER INDEX

The remote unit has a built-in-phone number index on the inside of the
handset.  You can use this index for instant access to frequently dialed
numbers or important emergency service numbers.  Use a pencil to write
the names and numbers on the index in case you need to change the
information.

USING THE REDIAL BUTTON

To quickly redial the last phone number you entered, lift the remote
unit's handset, listen for a dial tone, and press [REDIAL].

Notes:

  You replace the redial memory's phone number each time you enter a
  different phone number.

  The redial memory holds up to 32 digits.  If you enter more than 32
  digits, the redial memory does not redial the number.

USING THE FLASH BUTTON

Many special telephone services require a 0.7-second switchhook signal.
The phone's [FLASH] button provides the electronic equivalent of a
switchhook operation.

For example, if you have call waiting (a special service available from
some telephone companies), you can put a call on hold and take a second
incoming call on the same line by pressing [FLASH].

Pressing [FLASH] again lets you alternate between the two calls.

Note:  If you do not subscribe to a special service that uses a switchhook
       signal, do not press [FLASH] during a call.  You might disconnect
       the call.

USING THE * AND # BUTTONS

The [*] and [#] buttons are reserved for touch-tone service and are used
for special service functions such as call forwarding or bank-by phone.
Check with your local telephone company, or provider of special services
for details on the button's use.

Note:  The [*] and [#] buttons have no function in the pulse mode.

LIGHTNING

The telephone has protection circuits which meet or exceed FCC
requirements, to reduce the risk of damage due to power surges in the
telephone line current or AC.  However, lightning striking near or on
telephone lines or AC can damage the telephone.

Lightning damage is not common.  However, if this concerns you or if you
live in an area with frequent and/or severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug the electronic equipment during the storms.
