Making calls

1 Pick up the cordless handset

Put a call on hold

* You need to subscribe to the service from your telephone company. Notes While talking with an outside caller via the cordless handset, the display on the base phone shows CORDLESS HANDSET IN USE and you cannot make a call with the base phone. When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again. Tip You can switch between phone conversations via the handset and those via the speakerphone, simply by picking up the handset while talking over the speakerphone, or by pressing (SPEAKERPHONE) while talking over the handset.
To obtain the best speakerphone performance
You may not be able to hear the other partys voice in a noisy place. Therefore, use the speakerphone in a quiet room. Do not bring your hand or other object too close to the microphone or you will hear a shrill noise (feedback). When the speaker volume is loud, or the base phone has been placed close to a wall, you may find that the volume drops suddenly. This is due to a circuit in the telephone designed to protect against feedback. In such cases, lower the speaker volume slightly.
