Beyond the Basics
Privacy Mode
If you don’t want another station to interrupt you while on a
call, you can turn on privacy mode. As long as your station is in
privacy mode, other stations won’t be able to join your call or
make any calls of their own.
While on a call, press the MENU soft key. Select the PRIVACY
MODE submenu.
PRIVACY MODE ON will appear in the display for 2 seconds,
but the icon will appear and remain in the display until the
feature is turned off. Other stations will not be able to make
a call and their display will list SYSTEM BUSY PLEASE TRY
LATER.
To turn Privacy off, repeat above steps. PRIVACY MODE OFF
appears.
DirectLink™ Communication Feature
A pair of handsets (or two pairs of handsets at one time) can
function as two-way radios. This feature is called DirectLink
and will not interfere with the base’s ability to make or receive
telephone calls while in use. To activate, you must set both
handsets to the DirectLink feature. While using this feature, these
two handsets will not be able to make or receive normal phone
calls until this operation is canceled; however, other handsets will
function normally.
NOTE
If the party is out of range, OUT OF RANGE appears
in the display and the operation will be canceled.
Press the MENU soft key. Select DIRECTLINK MODE menu.
Press the OK soft key. The display shows TO ENTER
DIRECTLINK MODE PRESS [ENTER].
Press the ENTER soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone,
and DIRECTLINK MODE COMPLETE appears in the display.
