The TRUC46 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 TRUC46 series has Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.
RocketDial™ is a one touch speed dial key that automatically dials your most important or frequently called number. The number dialed, is a preset number stored by the user.
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.

•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 24.)
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:
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press MENU/MUTE.
2) Press UP or DOWN to move the pointer to “Dial Mode”.
3) Press SELECT/CH and the display will show the current setting. (The initial setting is Tone.)
4)Press UP or DOWN to change the selection.
5)Press SELECT/CH, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
6)Press END to exit.
Terminology
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the terminology explanation.
Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off the base, and TALK/FLASH has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present.
Talk Mode - The handset is not in the base and TALK/FLASH has been pressed enabling a dial tone. “Talk” appears on the display.
[ 14 ] G E T T I N G S TA R T E D
Setting Caller ID Options
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.

Or if the handset is not in the base, press any number key, /TONE, or # to answer the call. If you set AutoTalk to Off, you must press TALK/FLASH to answer the call.
Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a call waiting number. CW Deluxe allows you to handle call waiting calls in seven different ways. (See page 40)
You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in order to use this feature.
The CW Deluxe is a separate service available through your phone company.
To change your Caller ID options:
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press MENU/MUTE.
2) Press UP or DOWN to move the pointer to “Caller ID Setup”, then press SELECT/CH.
