TELEPHONE BASE

For further details, proceed to the following pages.

TWO'UNE PHONE

A two-line phone provides you the convenience of accessing two separate telephone lines (each obtained from the telephone company and having its own phone number) from one phone. This is generally useful for small businesses, home

-offices, and even for homes that need the convenience of two telephone lines.

To choose a line:

PRESS I LINE 1 I or | LINE 2 |

When Handset is picked up or Speaker button is pressed, a red light above the button will come on indicating the line in use.

LED LINE-STATUS INDICATORS

Above each Line button is an LED which informs you of the status of each line.

LED STATUS

Solid Red Line in use.

(The Line is currently being used by you [if you’ve lifted

the Handset off hook or activated the Speaker Button] or by another extension on the same line.)

Flashing Green

Incoming Call. (This is a visual “ring” indicator to inform you as to

which Line a call is coming in on.)

Flashing Red Line is on Hold.

(See “Hold Function” to terminate.)

DUAL RINGER TONES

In addition to the visual “ring" indicators to tell what line an incoming call is on,

your GE Speakerphone has separate and distinct ringer sounds for Line 1 and

Line 2.

This will allow you to determine (audibly) the line of an incoming call, even if you’re in another room.
