USING TONE SERVICES
ON A PULSE LINE
Some special services, such as bank-
by-phone, require tone signals. If you
have pulse service, you can still use
these special tone services by following
these steps.
1. Be sure PULSE-TONE is set to
PULSE .
2. Dial the service’s main number.
3. When the service answers, press
TONE/ . Any additional numbers
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/
INTERCOM FEATURES
You can use the ET-685 as a two-way
pager and intercom between the base
and the handset. This is useful if the
handset is away from the base and you
want to locate it, or if you want to have a
conversation between the handset and
the base.
To page the handset from the base,
press
INTERCOM . The handset rings,
and Paging appears on the handset’s
display. Press INTCM/PAUSE on the
handset to answer the page. Inter-
com appears.
To page the base from the handset,
press
INTCM/PAUSE . Paging Base
appears, and the base rings. Press IN-
TERCOM on the base to answer the
page. Intercom appears on the hand-
set’s display.
Note: The paging ends in one minute if
nobody answers. Press
INTERCOM or
INTCM/PAUSE again.
To end an intercom call, press INTCM/
PAUSE or INTERCOM .
During a call, you can page someone at
either the base or the handset to join the
conversation. Press
INTERCOM or IN-
TCM/PAUSE . The current call is put on
hold.
• To transfer the call, press INTER-
COM or INTCM/PAUSE again when
the person at the base or handset
answers.
• To start a 3-way call, tell the person
at the base or handset to press the
line button for the call, then press
the same button twice on your key-
pad when they answer the page.
Notes:
• You cannot page the base or hand-
set if it is already in use. A busy tone
sounds.
• If a call comes in during an intercom
conversation, either of the intercom
parties can answer the call as they
normally would by pressing the ring-
ing line’s button. The intercom call
automatically disconnects.
