OPERATION

Receiving a Phone Call

1. When your phone rings, pick up the handset
and use like any basic telephone.

2. Hang up the handset to release the telephone
line when conversation is completed.

Dialing a Call

Before dialing, make sure the Tone/Pulse switch
is correctly positioned for your type of service.

Pick up the phone and wait for a dial tone. Press
the keys for the number you want. Your
CONAIRPHONETM (pulse setting) uses electronic
pulses to simulate dialing action.
Because of this you might hear pulsing for a second
or two after the last button has been pressed.

KEY FEATURES

Your CONAIRPHONETM remembers the last number
dialed. If the number you dial is busy or not being
answered, hang up. If you want to redial the last
number automatically, press the REDIAL button.
NOTE: You can redial the same telephone number
as many times as required.
However, once you dial another number the
previous number is erased.

Ringer Off/Low/High

Your CONAIRPHONETM features a harmonic ringer
which can be adjusted to a loud (high) or soft (low)
sound level. When you don't want to be disturbed,
slide the switch to the "OFF" position. You can still
make outgoing calls without being disturbed by
incoming calls.

Timed Flash Function

The FLASH key can be used to retrieve a new
dial tone after ending a call.

NOTE: The FLASH key is also a useful feature for
special telephone services such as call waiting
and three party calling. Press briefly, release and
perform the custom call procedure.

Receiver Volume Control

This control allows you to adjust your handset
volume from normal to high, for a more
comfortable listening level.
