Operation

Receiving a Call
When your phone rings, pick up the handset and use like any basic telephone. Hang up the handset to release the telephone line when conversation is completed.
NOTE: If your radio is on when your phone rings, the radio will mute when you lift the handset from the base. Once the handset is back on the base, the radio will resume playing.

Dialing a Call
NOTE: Before dialing, make sure the Tone/Pulse switch is correctly positioned for your type of service.
Pick up phone, listen for a dial tone, then press the keys for the number you want. Your Conairphone™ (in pulse setting) uses electronic pulses to simulate dialing. You might hear pulsing for a second or two after the last button has been pressed.

Key Features

Last Number Redial
Your Conairphone™ remembers the last number dialed. If the number you dial is busy or not being answered, hang up. To automatically redial the last number, press the REDIAL button. NOTE: You can redial the same number as many times as needed. However, once you dial another number, the previous number is erased.

Ringer On/Off or Off/Low/High
Your Conairphone™ features a harmonic tone ringer. When you don't want to be disturbed, slide the switch to the "Off" position. You can still make outgoing calls without being disturbed by incoming calls. Some phones have a ringer that can be adjusted to a soft (low) or a loud (high) sound level.

Receiver Volume Control
This feature allows you to adjust your handset volume from normal to high, for a more comfortable listening level.

Mute
To talk to someone on your end of the phone without the caller hearing your conversation, press and hold the MUTE button. Release the MUTE button to return to your telephone conversation.

Flash Function
The FLASH button can be used to retrieve a new dial tone after ending a call.

NOTE: The FLASH button is also used with special telephone services such as call waiting and three party calling. Press the FLASH button briefly, release and perform the custom call procedure.

Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem: No dial tone
• Check all modular plugs to be sure they are firmly in place.
• Are the cords damaged in any way?
• Try another phone jack. If your Conairphone™ works on another jack, there may be a problem
   with your wiring.

Problem: I hear my phone dialing, but I can not get past the dial tone.
• Check the Tone/Pulse switch. If positioned in Tone (T) mode, switch to Pulse (P). You may
   have pulse dialing service.

Problem: Phone does not ring.
• Is the ringer switch set to the "Off" position?
• How many extensions are connected to your line? If more than five telephones are installed
   on the same line, you may need to contact your local telephone company to determine the
   maximum number of extensions for your calling area.

Problem: The sound volume is too low.
• Is another extension off hook? If so, hang up the extension.
