[ 3 ]WELCOME/FEATURES

The EXT1465 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.

To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, the EXT1465 has Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecure™ electronically locks your phone when the handset is in the base.

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

D. Choose the dialing mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:

• If you are not sure of

your dialing system, set the unit to tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.

• If your phone system

requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing. (Refer to “Tone Dialing Switchover” on page 23.)

There are three Caller ID setup options available: AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code. See page 16 for Area Code setup instructions.
