INSTRUCTION

Model 71-535 Ages 8 and up

This essential girls' accessory – the Clueless Hands Free Phone – gives her a cool way to punch the digits. The unique design allows it to function as a compact, hi-tech handset or transform it into a hands-free version by detaching the ear piece and flexible microphone and clipping the base to your waistband. In addition, the phone has the latest hi-tech features including a security alert to stop eavesdroppers, three Clueless phrases, and a five-position voice morphing effect.

MANUAL

OPERATION Receiving a Phone Call

When your phone rings, pick up the handset, slide the TALK/OFF switch to TALK, and use it like any basic telephone. Or if you are using the hands-free version, detach the ear piece and flexible microphone and place it comfortably around your ear, slide the TALK/OFF switch to TALK and clip the base to your waistband. Slide the TALK/OFF switch to OFF to “hang up” the telephone when you have completed your conversation.

Dialing a Call

Pick up the handset, slide the TALK/OFF switch to TALK, and wait for a dial tone. Or if you are using the hands-free version, detach the ear piece and flexible microphone and place it comfortably around your ear, clip the base to your waistband, slide the TALK/ OFF switch to TALK, and wait for a dial tone. Press the dialing keys for the number you want.

KEY FEATURES Handset/Headset

This two-in-one phone converts from a regular phone (handset) to a hands-free version (headset), simply by detaching the ear piece and flexible microphone from the base (Figure 3), placing it comfortably around your ear and clipping the base to your waistband. To return the phone to a handset, rewind the cord into the base by pressing down on the retractor dial and turning it in a clockwise direction (Figure 4).

Eavesdropper Detector

When the Eavesdropper Detector is turned on, a security alert is activated so 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.

Clueless Phrases

There are three buttons each activating a Clueless phrase. Push the appropriate button to insert, “AS IF,” “WHATEVER,” or “I’M OUTIE,” into your conversation.

Voice Changer

This voice morphing feature gives your conversation more attitude by allowing you to change your voice from high to low. Move the dial to the off position for your normal voice or select one of four different ranges -- VHI, HI, LO, VLO.

Redial

If the line is busy when you call someone, or you want to call 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. Slide the TALK/OFF switch to TALK. When you hear a dial tone press REDIAL instead of

dialing the number.

Ringer Volume Selector

Your Clueless Phone features a harmonic ringer which can be adjusted to a loud (HIGH) or soft (LOW) sound level. When you do not want to be disturbed, slide the switch to the OFF position. You will not hear the phone ring if the ringer switch is in the OFF position. You can still make outgoing calls without being disturbed by incoming calls.

Flash

The FLASH button is used to retrieve a new dial tone after ending a call.

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

Your Clueless Phone features a dial control to regulate the volume of the reception. If you are having trouble hearing the person you are talking to, increase the volume until it is at a desirable level. If the reception is too loud, decrease the volume until it

(Figure 2)(Figure 1)

is at a desirable level.
