OPERATION

Receiving a Phone Call

When your phone rings, pull out the cable with the ear bud and place the ear bud comfortably in your ear and press the TALK switch. Make sure the microphone is positioned closer to your mouth. Clip the base unit to your belt.

Dialing a Call

Pull out the cable with the ear bud and place the ear bud comfortably in your ear. Press the TALK switch and wait for the dial tone. Press the dial buttons for the number you want.

To Hang up

Press the TALK switch again to hang up the line.

To Return the Cord to the Base Unit

Press the button on the back of the unit to retract the cord. Cord will retract automatically. Replace the ear bud into the slot.

Eavesdropper Detector

When the Eavesdropper Detector is turned on, a security alert is activated and you hear “SOMEONE IS LISTENING!” when an unwanted third party picks up an extension on the same line. When the unwanted party hangs up, the phone lets you know that it is “SAFE TO TALK!” The Eavesdropper Detector can be turned off so that other extensions on the same line can be used during a conversation.

Sound Effects

This phone includes three sound effects that you can choose to play during your telephone conversation. F/X 1= Door Bell, F/X 2= Scream, and F/X 3= Telephone Ring.

Redial

If the line is busy when you call someone, or you want to call back someone you just called, there is no need to dial the number again manually. When pressed, the REDIAL button automatically redials the most recently dialed number. Press the TALK switch to TALK. When you hear a dial tone press REDIAL instead of dialing the number.

Flash

The FLASH button is used to retrieve a new dial tone after ending a call without having to turn the phone on and off.

NOTE: The FLASH button is also a useful feature for special telephone services such as call waiting, if you subscribe to this service. Press FLASH briefly, release and perform the custom call procedure.

Volume Control

My Private Line transceiver features a dial control to regulate the volume of the reception. If you are having trouble hearing the person your are talking to, increase the volume until it is at a desirable level. If the reception is too loud, decrease the volume until it is at a desirable level.
