SELECTING THE
CHANNEL
The ET-919 scans 20 channels (fre-
quency pairs used between the base
and the handset) and automatically se-
lects a clear channel each time you
make or receive a call.
If you hear other conversations or ex-
cessive noise during a call, press
CHAN-
NEL to select a different channel. The
TALK indicator blinks while your phone
searches for a clear channel.
Note: If the handset is too far from the
base, the channel might not change.
Move closer to the base and try again.
USING MUTE
The MUTE button on the handset lets
you talk to someone else in the room
without the person on the other end of
the phone line hearing your conversa-
tion.
