BASICS
There are three Caller ID setup options available: AUTOTALK, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and AREA CODE.
AUTOTALK allows you to answer the phone without
pressing TALK/FLASH. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is On, simply remove the remote from the base and the phone automatically answers the call. Or if the remote is not in the base, press any number key, /TONE, or # to answer the call. If you set AutoTalk to Off, you must press talk/flash to answer the call. Setting AutoTalk follows in this section.
CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a call waiting number.
CW Deluxe allows you to handle call waiting calls in seven different ways. See page 28 for the Caller ID (CID) section and page 35 for CW Deluxe.
You must subscribe to CID and CIDCW from your phone company in order to use this feature.
The CW Deluxe is a separate service available through your phone company.

TIP
Any key answer can be used only when AutoTalk is set to On.

DISTINCTIVE RINGER SETUP
TIP
See ”Storing Phone Numbers, Names, Distinctive Rings, and Speed Dial” on page 17 for storing a Distinctive Ring in the Phonebook.
“Distinctive Ringer” allows you to preset memory locations with a designated ring tone. When an incoming call is received and the Caller ID information matches the information in one of the memory locations, the Distinctive Ring that has been stored for that particular caller will sound.
If you have set multiple memory locations with distinctive rings, switching the setting to “Distinctive Off” will result in no distinctive ringing. All incoming calls will have a normal ring tone. Switching to “Distinctive On” will activate all programmed distinctive ring memory locations.
1) When the phone is
in the standby mode, press
MENU/MUTE.
2) Press ▲ or ▼ to move the pointer to
“Distinct. Ring”, then press
SELECT/CH.
3)Press ▲ or ▼ to choose “Distinctive On” or “Distinctive Off”.

ASICSB
MUTE MICROPHONE
You can temporarily
turn Off the micro-
phone so that the person you are talking with cannot hear you.
1) During a telephone call press and hold
MENU/MUTE for a few seconds to turn
Off the microphone, and “Mute” appears on the display.
2) Press MENU/MUTE again to cancel muting.
TIP
Do not press END to cancel muting. END will disconnect the call and the phone will return to standby mode.
11
TONE DIALING SWITCH-OVER
TIP
The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
A tone number can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. (See page 25.)
Some telephone
companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes referred
to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter
tone dialing digits,
you can switch-over to tone dialing during the call. For example, entering your bank account number after you have called your bank.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press /TONE. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
TRAVELING OUT-OF-RANGE
During a call, as you begin to move your remote too far from your base unit, static increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within 30 seconds.
12
SELECTING A DIFFERENT CHANNEL
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the phone’s channel for clear operation. This function works only when the phone is in use.
Press SELECT/CH. “Scanning” appears on the display, indicating the phone is changing to another channel.
FIND REMOTE
To locate the remote, press PAGE on the base. The remote beeps for 60 seconds, and “Paging”
appears on the display.
Paging is canceled when pressing any key on the remote or PAGE on the base. Additionally, if you receive an incoming call, PAGE is canceled.
TIP
If the remote battery is completely drained, the remote will not beep when paging.

ASICSB
FLASH AND CALL WAITING
TIP
You must subscribe through your local telephone company to receive Call
Waiting Service.
If you have Call
Waiting service and
a call waiting tone sounds while you are on a call, press
TALK/FLASH to accept the waiting call. There is a short
pause, then you will
hear the new caller. To return to the original caller, press TALK/FLASH again.
MESSAGE LED
The message waiting LED on the
remote is designed to work with your
voice mail service provided by your
local telephone company. The LED flashes when you have new incoming messages in the voice mail service.
You may need to occasionally reset the indicator if it remains On after you’ve retrieved your messages. To reset the indicator, when the phone is in the standby mode press and hold PAGE on the base until the paging sound stops (about 5 seconds).
14
USING THE PHONEBOOK
Phonebook allows you to dial a number using just a few key presses. It stores names/numbers in the Phonebook memory location, and you can search names in alphabetical order. You have a total of 100 locations that can be used for the Phonebook (including the Speed dials) and Caller ID messages.
If any of the following occurs while using the Phonebook function, operation will be canceled.
•Press END. The phone will return to the standby mode (or the call will be disconnected).
•Press TALK/FLASH.
•Place the remote in the base.
