because the tones transmitted from your handset are
too short to be recognized.
Should this happen, you can increase the length of
the transmitted tones for the duration of the current
call. When this feature is activated, a tone will
transmit for as long as you press the key.

and transmit sounds in the room to a speaker
handset. The monitor handset places a call to the
speaker handset. From the monitor handset, you can
change the BabyPhone call number—the number of
the handset you use to listen to the monitor.
When this feature is activated, the monitor handset
automatically calls the speaker handset. The monitor

Using Direct Call
Direct call is a feature that lets you program the
handset to dial a set number regardless of which key
is pressed. Direct call can be activated with any key
on the keypad.
This feature is useful if there is a number that you
call repeatedly, or if you want to program the phone
for a child to contact you easily while you are out.
Storing a number in the direct call option and
activating the option configures the handset to
automatically ring the number by touching any key
on the handset. This means that if any key is
pressed, for example, by a small child, the same
direct call number is always dialed.
Pressing any key again will end the call.
NOTE: Only one direct
call can be stored at a
time. When this feature
is on, no other outgoing
calls can be made,
though calls can still be
received.
When turning off the direct call feature, do the steps
quickly to prevent the direct call number from
dialing.
To store a direct call:
1. Press to access the menu.
2. Select >Handset>DirectCall and press .

Using Direct Call
Direct call is a feature that lets you program the
handset to dial a set number regardless of which key

automatically ring the number by touching any key
on the handset. This means that if any key is
pressed, for example, by a small child, the same
direct call number is always dialed.
Pressing any key again will end the call.
NOTE: Only one direct
call can be stored at a
time. When this feature
is on, no other outgoing
calls can be made,
though calls can still be
received.
