Standby mode (waiting for incoming calls)
Standby is the initial screen that appears every time
you turn on the handset. When your phone is in
standby mode, you are ready to receive phone calls
and you will see the handset and base number or
the handset name (if you have one saved) and the
current date and time.
When your phone is in standby mode, you can use
the phone to make or receive calls, or to use menu
functions.
You can access the main menu in standby mode by pressing the MENU soft key.
The list of the main menu items is stated in the par. List of menu functions (see
page 37). You can also access the calls list by pressing the LIST soft key.
Making a call
You can make your calls in two ways. This is the most traditional one:
1. Pick up the handset and press the key
to engage the line. You
hear a dial tone and Call to appears on the top of the display with
the icon
appearing in the icon area.
2. Dial a telephone number. The display shows the number as you
have entered it. When you hear your called party, speak with a
normal voice level.
3. To end the call, either press the key
or replace the handset on
the base station.
If you notice that the number you entered hasnt been really called (you still
hear the dial tone as you have never dialed the number), try to change the
dial mode. Refer to par. Choosing the dial mode.
This procedure is more convenient and reliable, because you can check the number
you have entered and make corrections before dialing:
