USING YOUR TELEPHONE
HANDSET VOLUME CONTROL
This telephone includes a Handset with Receiver Volume Control that complies with FCC Part 68
requirements mandated by the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988.
The Volume Control is a small rotary knob that protrudes from the inside of the Handset handle. The
rotary knob may be conveniently operated with the thumb, index, or middle nger while holding the
handset.
Rotating the knob toward the Receiver (upper) end of the Handset will increase the loudness from the
Receiver.
Rotating the knob toward the Microphone (lower) end of the Handset will decrease the loudness from
the Receiver.
The Volume Control will not disable the Receiver. The minimum loudness setting of the Volume control
will usually produce a comfortable listening level for persons with no hearing impairment.
FLASH BUTTON
If your telephone is equipped with a FLASH button, this can be used to access features such as call
waiting provided by your telephone company.
To signal your telephone system during a call, press the FLASH button. The results of a ash signal
will depend on the services provided by your telephone company.
Refer to the instructions provided by your telephone company. When a "hookswitch ash" is indicated,
use the FLASH button. DO NOT USE THE HOOKSWITCH. This will disconnect your call.
POSITIVE LINE DISCONNECT
If your telephone is equipped with a FLASH button, it also oers Positive Line Disconnect. This feaure
ensures that an existing call is disconnected whenever the hookswitch is depressed.
To disconnect after completing a call, simply hang up the handset. To make another call immediately,
press and release the hookswitch plunger, wait for dial tone, and dial the number.
Depressing the plunger will disconnect you for a minimum of 1.2 seconds so dial tone will be slightly
delayed when using this feature.
THIS FEATURE IS ONLY OFFERED ON TELEPHONES EQUIPPED WITH A FLASH BUTTON.
A-LEAD CONTROL
If your telephone part number ends in 44M, it is wired for A-Lead Control. If the part number ends in
20M, the wiring inside the telephone can be changed to enable A-Lead control. See wiring chart below.
