Using Your External Cordless Adapter
Answering a Call
To answer a call that is ringing at your
cordless telephone:
1
Go off-hook at your telephone. With
most cordless phones, this is done by
the pressing of a button labeled “Phone”
or “On.”
Note that this is exactly the same way
that you would answer a ringing call if
your cordless telephone were connected
directly to the line.
Note that if your cordless phone has
caller ID capability, the display will indi-
cate which line the call is ringing on. The
display will read “L1:”, “L2:”, “L3:”, or
“L4:” and will also display the caller ID
info if you subscribe to the caller ID ser-
vice on that line.
To answer a call that is not ringing at
your cordless telephone:
1
Go off-hook at your telephone. With
most cordless phones, this is done by
the pressing of a button labeled “Phone”
or “On.”
Note that you will now be
hearing the internal dial tone.
2
Dial “81”, “82”, “83” or “84” on your tele-
phone.
81 ...if you wish to answer a call on line 1
82 ...if you wish to answer a call on line 2
83 ...if you wish to answer a call on line 3
84 ...if you wish to answer a call on line 4
This will seize that particular line, and
you should now be speaking to the call-
ing party.
When your cordless telephone is ringing, you
may answer the call by simply going off-hook at
that telephone. You will automatically be con-
nected to the ringing line.
You may however wish to turn some or all of your
ringers OFF at your cordless phone (See page 4
for instructions on doing this).
If you wish to answer a particular line that you
hear ringing at another phone, but whose ringer
is OFF at your cordless phone, do the following:
Go off-hook at your telephone.
Note that you
will now be hearing the internal dial tone.
To answer the ringing line, dial “8”, followed by
the corresponding number on the dialpad of your
cordless telephone.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: If you are engaged in a call
on your cordless phone, and a call is ringing on
another line, you will hear one, two, three, or four
beeps in your ear to indicate which line the call
is ringing on.
If you wish to answer that call, you may hang up
your cordless phone, wait for your cordless
phone to start ringing, then go off hook to answer
the new call.
Or you may put your current call on hold by
pressing FLASH, then dial “81”, “82”, “83” or “84”
to answer the ringing line. When you wish to
return to your call on hold, hang up your cordless
phone, wait for your cordless phone to start ring-
ing, then go off hook and you will be connected
to the original call.
