In general, to exit from the current menu/mode the user can press the OFF key; this will bring the user
back one step.
For example, using the diagram below, pressing the SELECT key while on hook in idle mode will bring up
the “REDIAL MEMORY” menu. Subsequent presses of the ▲▼ keys will allow the user to navigate
through the other menu items. If the user presses the SELECT key when the menu item “REDIAL
MEMORY” is displayed, the user will enter the redial memory function. Pressing the ▲▼ keys while in
this menu will allow the user to review the last 5 numbers dialed. Pressing the OFF key anytime while
within this state will return the user back up to the “REDIAL MEMORY” main menu item. Subsequent
presses of the ▲▼ keys will allow the user to navigate through the other menu items. Pressing the OFF
key will exit the user from the main menu and return the user to the idle mode.
3.2.3 Mode Timeout
The handset will have a built in menu display timeout feature whereby if it detects that no key has been
pressed within 30 seconds, it will exit the current menu item and return to the appropriate on hook idle or
off hook state. The exception to this is when the phone call is placed on hold. If a call is on hold, the call
will remain on hold until the user manually takes it off hold or cradles the handset.

3.3.2 Post-Seizure Dialing (Off-Hook) or Live Dial
Post-Seizure dialing or Live Dial refers to a mode of operation where the user goes off-hook or seizes the
line before entering the phone number or recalling a number from memory to be dialed. This type of
dialing is the normal method used in most corded telephones.
Live Dial or off-hook mode is indicated by a solid block cursor as shown in the example display below:
In Live Dial the user can only recall telephone numbers from memory. No programming/editing functions
are allowed in Live-dial.
When the user takes the phone off hook without pre-dial digits on the display, the message ‘PHONE ON’
will be shown.
The IN USE/CHARGING LED on the base will be lit GREEN to indicate the handset is in use and the
telephone line is off-hook. As the user manually enters digits the corresponding DTMF tone will be
generated and remain on for the duration the key is held when the dial mode is set to TONE , or, if the dial
mode is set to PULSE, the pulse digits will be dialed. A KEYCLICK will also be generated to acknowledge
the user of the manual entry.
3.4 Using SELECT or PHONE key When Recalling Numbers From Memory
The cordless telephone supports “What You See Is What You Get“ (WYSIWYG) dialing when a user
recalls any dialing memory location while in pre-dial mode and presses the PHONE key instead of the
SELECT key.
This feature allows the user to scroll through any memory recall locations (e.g. CID Recall, Last Number
Redial and Speed Dial) and select the number to be dialed. By pressing the PHONE key when in pre-dial
mode only, the number as shown on the recall display will be dialed exactly as shown. This feature
prevents any dialing errors caused by accidentally leaving digits on the pre-dial display prior to making the
memory recall selection.
If a user wishes to recall a memory location for further editing in pre-dial mode, the user can always press
the SELECT key to recall the number and append it to any digits already entered on the display prior to
the memory recall.

appended to the number and saved in the redial memory up to the maximum of 20 digits.
If a user enters a phone number using pre-dial and does not go off-hook, the number will not be saved in
redial memory.
Any subsequent dialing digits entered after the PHONE key is pressed (live dialing) will also be stored. A
combination of the first 20 digits whether pre-dialed and live-dialed will be stored; In the case where there
are less than 20 digits, storage will be triggered by activation of a line flash or an OFF key press.
After a hook switch flash, the numbers previously dialed are immediately saved in the current redial
memory location and all subsequent numbers after the flash are recorded in a new redial memory
location.

3.8 Calling Line ID Functions
The telephone is capable of decoding, saving and displaying up to 50 calling line ID numbers (CID).
Calling line ID is a paid feature provided by the telephone company (TELCO) which sends the telephone
number of the caller to the user so that he can identify who is calling before answering the call.
3.8.1 CID Type I
Upon successful reception of the CID data sent by the CO between the first and the second power ringing,
the display on the handset will show the name and number field received appropriately.
This display will persist for the duration of ringing and will remain active for 5 seconds after the last
detected power ring on signal.
Once new valid CID data is received, the new calls counter will be incremented by one.
The name and number field may also display ‘PRIVATE’ or ‘UNAVAILABLE’ if it’s blocked or is not
provided by the CO. If erroneous CID data as is received (as determined by a checksum error) the
following message will be displayed:
3.8.2 Call Forward Indicator
In some cases, a user may receive calls forwarded from another telephone. To indicate this a ‘CF’ is
displayed in the first character of the number field as shown below:
This feature helps a user to identify that the call he received was not made directly to this telephone.
This feature can be disabled via a bit flag in EEPROM during factory programming to support those
customers who do not require the feature.

3.8.3 New Calls Indicator
The handset will display the number of new calls received this will be based on the received CID data.
The new calls will count the number of calls received since last CID review. Refer to Section 3.8.1
Review/Recall Telephone Numbers from CID Memory. Once the user reviews the CID records the New
Calls status will be cleared.
The following shows an example of a single and multiple new calls display. The new calls display will
always displayed on the top line when the handset is idle. This message has the lowest priority and may
be over written by other messages.
3.8.3.1 New Calls LED Indicator Option
The New Calls LED indicator on the base will flash at a rate of twice per second, on models equipped with
this indicator. The base indicator will match the handset New Calls status.
3.8.4 CID Type II
The telephone is capable of receiving Call Waiting CID type II. If during a normal phone call, another call
comes in with CID information, alerting tones (subscriber alert signal tone or SAS) will be heard in the
handset earpiece to notify the user of the 2nd call. The phone will mute both audio paths, acknowledge
back to the CO via a DTMF tone and then receive, decode and display the new CID information.
The new CID information will be displayed in the same manner as defined in Section 3.8.1 CID Type I.
The new CID information will be displayed for 10 seconds and will then be stored in E2PROM. This new
CID information will also cause the New Calls counter to be incremented.
3.8.5 Review/Recall Telephone Numbers from CID Memory.
When the telephone is on-hook, the CID information stored in memory can be reviewed or recalled. To
access the CID memory, press the SELECT key to bring up the menu. Then use the ▲▼ keys to select
“CID MEMORY” from the menu.
A total of up to 50 CID records can be saved. Any saved CID records can be reviewed and recalled. The
user can scroll through the CID records using the ▼ or ▲ keys. Any empty CID memory locations will
not be displayed. For example, if CID records 01 through 18 are active and the remaining CID records are
empty, then if the user presses the ▲ key while displaying record #18, the next record displayed will be
record #01.
Upon entering the “CID MEMORY” menu item, the most recent record (record #1) will be displayed. The
records are saved such that the most recent record is displayed first and the oldest record is displayed
last. The top line of the display will show the record number and the name (if it exists) and the second line
will show the phone number (if it exists). An example display is shown below:

3.18 Spare Battery/POTS mode
This telephone has provision to charge a spare handset battery in the base unit. This spare battery also
powers the base during an AC power failure. This mode of operation is referred to as POTS mode; which
stands for Plain Old Telephone System. When a spare battery is installed, it is indicated on the base by
the SPARE BATTERY LED being lit solid RED. When POTS mode is in effect and a spare battery is
installed, the SPARE BATTERY LED flashes RED.
The handset will also display the following message when POTS mode is active:
3.19 Low Battery Warning
When the handset battery voltage drops below the specified value in Section 4.2 DC Electrical
Characteristics. The handset will have the message ‘LOW BATTERY’ on the top line of the display
A warning tone is emitted from the handset when the phone is first activated during a low battery
condition. The low battery warning tone and message is suppressed if the user was in any other modes of
operation, such as CID, Speed Dial review, etc. Until the LCD is cleared of other messages, a timer will
count up 5 seconds after which, the low battery warning tone is be generated and the low battery warning
is displayed on the LCD.
3.20 Parallel Set Indication
When another extension is off hook on the same phone line, and when the unit is in standby mode, the
telephone will detect this condition and inform the user.
The handset LCD will display the following when the unit detects that another extension on the same line
is off-hook
This display will remain on continuously for the duration of the condition. This display supersedes the ‘XX
NEW CALLS’ display. This display is not active during an out of range condition.
The ‘XX NEW CALLS’ is returned to the display when the ‘EXTENSION IN USE’ message is cancelled.
There will be no parallel set indication visible on the base unit.

3.24 Channel Search/Out of Range Indication
When the handset is off-hook and the RF link is broken between the handset and base, the handset
alerter will emit a beep signaling a “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” condition as the handset begins scanning
for the base.
The “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” indication will remain on the LCD as the handset tries to reestablish
communication with the base. If this is not done within 30 seconds, the unit will display “CALL DROPPED”
for 3 seconds and will then enter standby mode (idle/low power mode). At intervals of 10 seconds, the
handset will wake up and display “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” again as it scans all 10 channels (channels
0 through 9) before blanking the display and reentering standby mode.
Note: Once entering standby mode while in an out-of-range condition, the handset will emit out-of-range
tones at 10 second intervals until the battery dies or the handset is able to re-establish communication
with the base. In this condition, the battery life will be greatly diminished.
If the PHONE key is pressed while the unit is in an out-of-range condition and in standby mode, a
KEYCLICK will be generated and after two seconds the out-of-range warning beep is generated and
channel search will be initiated. The “CHANNEL SEARCHING..” message then appears on the display for
30 seconds. After 30 seconds the unit will display “CALL DROPPED” for 3 seconds and enter standby
mode.
If the unit is within range of the base, the handset will automatically re-establish the link within 15 seconds.
The unit will then display:
for 3 seconds and then blank the display and enter into standby mode.
