Feature highlights

Phonebooks

This unit provides the handset phonebook (200 names and phone numbers; page 18) and the shared phonebook (20 names and phone numbers; page 21). 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

18) can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones for different categories of callers (page 35).

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 21), 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

35).

Feature highlights

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 26) and base unit (page 31).

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 38).

Polyphonic ringtones

You can change the ringtone heard when the unit rings for calls. For handset, you can choose from 5 ringtones and 10 melody tones for outside calls and intercom calls (page 25). For base unit, you can choose from 6 ringtones for outside calls (page 17).

Using Caller ID service

Important:

L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use

Caller ID features (such as displaying caller phone numbers), you must subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult your service provider for details.

For all local and national incoming calls, your display will show the area code (e.g. 09 for Auckland) or the cellular prefix (e.g. 0274 for Telecom Cellular) followed by the caller’s telephone number. An Auckland caller’s number will be displayed as 09XXXXXXX. The seven X’s represent the seven digits of the caller’s telephone number. A caller from a 6-digit Telecom Cellular number will be displayed as 0274XXXXXX. For incoming international calls, your display may only show “0000”. For business users on a Centrex line, your display will show Centrex extension numbers in the shorter extension number format used within your company.

L The Caller ID information will not be

presented on incoming fax calls if Telecom FaxAbility is used.

Caller ID Service

you can call back the caller without having to dial the phone number (page 41).

L When caller information is received and it

matches a phone number stored in the unit’s phonebook:

– The stored name will be displayed and

logged in the caller list.

– The handset will use the ringtone

assigned to the caller’s category.

– Both the base unit and handset will

announce the audible call recording you made.

L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,

you may not receive the caller information.

L When the caller dialled from an area

which does not provide Caller ID service, “Out of Area” will be displayed.

L When the caller requested not to send

caller information, either no information or

“Private Caller” will be displayed.

Missed calls

If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. The number of missed calls is shown on the display. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out.

Using toll services from Telecom or another company

Your telephone company may charge you for a local call if the number dialled has the area code prefix included. If this is unacceptable, dial only the 7-digit local number. Do not dial the {0} prefix or the area code.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is received, the caller’s phone number can be displayed.

L Phone numbers of the last 50 different

callers will be logged in the caller list.

Multi-unit Operation

Operating additional units

Additional handsets

Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a single base unit. Additional handsets will give you the freedom to, for example, have an intercom call with another handset while a third handset is on an outside call. See page 5 for information on ordering additional handsets.

Important:

L The additional handset model

recommended for use with this unit is noted on page 5. If other model handset is used, certain operations (handset settings, base unit settings, etc.) may not be available.

Additional base units

Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units, allowing you to add additional base units and extend the area in which your handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves out of range of its base unit when “Auto” is selected on base unit selection (page 47), it will look for another base unit to make or receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.

Note:

L Calls will be disconnected when the

handset moves from one radio cell to another.

L Intercom calls and call transfers are only

possible between handsets in the same radio cell.

Registering a handset to a base unit

To register an additional handset to a base unit (easy registration)

The included handset and base unit are preregistered. After purchasing an additional handset, register it to the base unit. Ensure that the additional handset is switched on. If it is not on, press and hold {ih} for few seconds to turn the handset on.

1 Lift the additional handset and press

{ih} to put the handset in standby mode.

2 Press and hold {x} on the base unit for

Note:

L If an error tone sounds, or if w is still

flashing, register the handset manually (manual registration; page 47).

L If all registered handsets start ringing in

step 2, press {x} to stop. Start again from step 1.

L Charge the batteries of your additional

handset for about 7 hours before initial use.

L This registration method cannot be used

for handsets that have already been registered to a base unit. Register the handset manually (manual registration; page 47).
