ET-143 (430-0596) Setup Faxback Doc. # 6357 SELECTING THE OPERATING MODE Set NORM/STORE BATT TEST to NORM for normal operation. Set NORM/STORE BATT TEST to STORE BATT TEST only when you want to check battery power when or store numbers into memory. In the STORE BATT TEST position, the phone drains the battery power. SETTING THE RINGER'S VOLUME Set RINGER to HI in a noisy room, such as the kitchen. Set it to LO in a quiet room, such as a bedroom. If you do not want the ringer to sound, set RINGER to OFF. You can still answer the phone if you hear another phone ring on he same line, and you can still make calls. SETTING THE DIALING MODE Set TONE/PULSE MODE for the type of service you have (pulse or tone). If you are not sure which type of service you have, do this simple test: 1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE. 2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. 3. Press any number except 0 or any access code numbers if the phone is in an office. If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. If you have pulse service, set TONE/PULSE to PULSE. STORING NUMBERS INTO MEMORY You can store up to 20 telephone numbers in the phone's memory. Each memory location can contain up to 15 tone digits or 16 pulse digits. Note: You can store PULSE and FLASH entries and changes from pulse to tone dialing. Each of these counts as one digit in memory. However, you can only store the FLASH entry as the first entry in a memory location. Follow these steps to store a number into memory: 1. With the handset on its cradle, set NORM/STORE BATT TEST to STORE BATT TEST. 2. Enter the number and any pauses, flash signal, or pulse-to-tone changes that you want to store. The phone sounds a confirmation tone each time you press a button. 3. Press MEMORY. 4. Enter a two-digit code from 01 through 20. The number you previously dialed is now stored in this memory location. Repeat Steps 2-4 to store additional numbers. 5. When you finish storing numbers into memory, set NORM/STORE BATT TEST to NORM. Otherwise, the phone drains the batteries and then loses the information stored in memory. 6. Write the person or company's name next to the corresponding memory location number on the phone's index card. Use a pencil so you can easily change the information later. Notes: If you make a mistake while entering a number, lift the handset and enter the number again. If the phone rings while you are storing a telephone number, you can answer the call without returning NORM/STORE BATT TEST to NORM. If you answer the call before assigning a two-digit code to the number you are storing, you must enter the number again after your conversation. STORING FLASH in MEMORY Some telephone systems provide a special service that requires the switchhook signal to transfer calls. For example, if you often need to transfer calls to an extension, follow the procedures in "Storing Numbers into MEMORY" and press FLASH before the extension number. Storing a Pause in Memory You can insert a pause anywhere in a phone number. You might need to enter a pause if you have to dial an access code, such as 9, to use an outside line in an office. Insert PAUSE with the phone number as instructed "Storing Numbers in Memory." Note: Each pause entry is 2 seconds and counts as one digit in memory. Storing Numbers for Special Services When using special services, such as alternate long-distance or bank-by- phone, you must dial the phone number of the service and wait for the computer to answer before you continue dialing. The length of time before the computer answers varies, so we suggest you do not use a preprogrammed pause after a service number. Also, the combination of the service's phone number, a security code and any other information such as a long distance number includes too many numbers for one memory location. To solve both problems, store the special service's phone number in one memory location, and the rest of the information, such as the long-distance number, in another memory location. Note: For security reasons, we recommend that you do not store your personal identification number into memory. Verifying Numbers Stored in Memory If you want to test an emergency number's memory location, test it in the off hours of early morning or late evenings, and be sure to stay on the line to briefly explain the reason for the call.
