Feature highlights

Colour display

The handset’s colour display allows you to customise the handset to your liking. You can customise the handset by selecting the “wallpaper” pattern shown on the display in standby mode (page 28). If you set the wallpaper to “Off”, the display colour (page 28) setting will be used instead.

Phonebooks

This unit provides the handset phonebook (200 names and phone numbers; page 19) and the shared phonebook (20 names and phone numbers; page 22). These phonebooks allow you to make calls without having to dial manually. For handset phonebook, you can assign each handset phonebook entry to the desired category, and search for handset phonebook entries by name or category.

Handset phonebook category

If you subscribe to Caller ID service, handset phonebook categories (page

Tom

19) can help you identify who is calling by using different display colours and ringtones for different categories of callers (page 36).

Feature highlights

Audible call for shared phonebook

Tom

Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display. If you record an audible call announcement for a shared phonebook entry (page 22), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive a call from that person. Audible call is available only after subscribing to Caller ID service (page

37).

Night mode

Night mode allows you to select a block of time during which the handset/base unit will not ring, useful if you do not want to be disturbed, for example, while sleeping. Night mode can be set independently for the handset (page 27) and base unit (page 32).

Digital answering system

Digital answering system allows the unit to answer and record calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone (page 47).
