3.3.2 Post-Seizure Dialing (Off-Hook) or Live Dial
Post-Seizure dialing or Live Dial refers to a mode of operation where the user goes off-hook or se izes the
line before entering the phone number or recalling a number from memory to be dialed. This type of
dialing is the normal method used in most corded telephones.
Live Dial or off-hook mode is indicated by a solid block cursor as shown in the example display below:
!:3684467]
!:3684467]
!:3684467]!:3684467]
In Live Dial the user can only recall telephone numbers from memory. No programming/editing functions
are allowed in Live-dial.
When the user takes the phone off hook without pre-dial digits on the display, the message ‘PHONE ON’
will be shown.

The IN USE/CHARGING LED on the base will be lit GREEN to indicate the handset is in use and the
telephone line is off-hook. As the user manually enters digits the corresponding DTMF tone will be
generated and remain on for the duration the key is held when the dial mode is set to TONE , or, if the dial
mode is set to PULSE, the pulse digits will be dialed. A KEYCLICK will also be generated to acknowledge
the user of the manual entry.
Solid Block Cursor
Indicates Off-Hook
3.4 Using SELECT or PHONE key When Recalling Numbers From Memory
The cordless telephone supports “W hat You See Is What You Get“ (W YSIWYG) dialing when a user
recalls any dialing memory location while in pre-dial m ode and presses the PHONE k ey instead of the
SELECT key.
This feature allows the user to scroll through any memor y recall locations (e.g. CID Recall, Last Number
Redial and Speed Dial) and select the number to be dialed. By pressing the PHONE k ey when in pre-dial
mode only, the number as shown on the recall display will be dialed exactly as shown. This feature
prevents any dialing errors caused by accidentally leaving digits on the pre-dial display prior to making the
memory recall selection.
If a user wishes to recall a memory location for further editing in pre-dial mode, the user can always press
the SELECT key to recall the number and append it to any digits already entered on the display prior to
the memor y recall.

redial number will be appended to any digits already dialed.
To exit from Redial review without recalling the telephone number , press the OFF key. The user is then
returned to the menu selection mode.
3.6.1.1 Redial Example Using PHONE key from Pre-Dial Mode:
Assume that the user has made 4 previous telephone calls to the following numbers in the following order:
233 4566, 876 1356 , 455 5677 and 257 3356.
Phone State: Idle Mode (On-Hook).

3.18 Spare Battery/POTS mode
This telephone has provision to charge a s pare handset battery in the base unit. This spar e battery also
powers the base during an AC power failure. This mode of oper ation is ref err ed to as POT S m ode; which
stands for Plain Old Telephone System . W hen a spare battery is installed, it is indicated on the base by
the SPARE BATTERY LED being lit solid RED. When POT S mode is in effect and a spare battery is
installed, the SPARE BATTERY LED flashes RED.
The handset will also display the following message when POTS mode is active:

3.24 Channel Search/Out of Range Indication
When the handset is off-hook and the RF link is broken between the handset and base, the handset
alerter will emit a beep signaling a “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” condition as the handset begins scanning
for the base.

DIBOOFMDIBOOFM
TFBSDIJOH///
TFBSDIJOH///
TFBSDIJOH///TFBSDIJOH///
The “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” indication will rem ain on the LCD as the handset tries to reestablish
communication with the base. If this is not done within 30 seconds, the unit will display “CALL DROPPED”
for 3 seconds and will then enter standby mode (idle/low power mode) . At intervals of 10 seconds, the
handset will wake up and display “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” again as it scans all 10 channels (channels
0 through 9) before blanking the display and reentering standby mode.
Note: Once entering standby mode while in an out-of-range c ondition, the handset will emit out-of-range
tones at 10 second intervals until the battery dies or the handset is able to re-establish communic ation
with the base. In this condition, the battery life will be greatly diminished.
If the PHONE key is pressed while the unit is in an out-of-range condition and in standby mode, a
KEYCLICK will be generated and after two seconds the out-of-range warning beep is generated and
channel search will be initiated. The “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” message then appears on the display for
30 seconds. After 30 seconds the unit will display “CALL DROPPED” for 3 seconds and enter standby
mode.
If the unit is within range of the base, the handset will automatically re-establish the link within 15 seconds.
The unit will then display:
