you dial are sent as tone signals.
4. After you complete the call, the
phone automatically resets to the
pulse mode when you hang up.
USING THE PAGING/

You can use the ET-686 as a two-way

the base.

tor on the base flashes and the base
and handset ring. Press

press
INTCM . The base rings, even if
RING VOL is set to OFF . Press INTER-
COM on the base to answer the page.
Both line indicators on the handset light,
and the CHARGE indicator on the base
lights.
To end an intercom call, press INTCM on
the handset, press INTERCOM on the
base, or hang up the handset.
During a call, you can page someone at
either the base or the handset to join the
conversation. Press
INTERCOM or IN-
TCM . The current call is placed on hold.
