Radio Shack ET-928 - Manual (Page 12)

12
• If the battery pack becomes weak,
the handset sounds a short beep
every 16 seconds during a call (or
every 64 seconds when the handset
is not in use) and the BATT LOW
indicator flashes. Within about 10
minutes, the phone will automati-
cally disconnect. Recharge the bat-
tery pack.
• If the battery pack loses its charge
completely or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
needs to be reset. To reset the secu-
rity code, place the handset on the
base. If it was the handset that lost
power, leave the handset on the
base to charge the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the BATT
LOW indicator turns on. Otherwise,
it loses its ability to fully recharge,
and you might have to recharge and
replace it more often.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set T/P (Tone/Pulse ) for the type of ser-
vice you have. If you are not sure which
type you have, do this test.
1. Set T/P on the back of the base to T .
2. Press SPEAKER (speakerphone) on
the base (or TALK on the handset
after the battery is charged) and lis-
ten for a dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0 .
Note: If your phone system requires
that you dial an access code (
9 , for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave
T/P set to
T .
If the tone continues, you have
pulse (rotary) service. Set
T/P to P .
4. To hang up, press SPEAKER on the
base (or TALK on the handset) so
either LED indicator turns off.
ADJUSTING THE
RINGERS
The ET-928’s handset and base each
have four different ringer tones. You can
set the base’s and handset’s ringer tone,
or turn off the ringer on either or both.
