BASIC OPERATIONS
See page 5 for location of button controls.
Standby Mode
The headset is automatically in standby mode when you remove it from the base;
therefore, a single press of the multifunction button will obtain a dial tone, answer
an incoming call, or end a call. After removing the headset from the base, a yellow
flashing light on the headset indicates that Standby Mode is active. If the yellow light
is not flashing, turn the headset on (instructions below).
Since standby time is extensive and the headset continues to charge any time it is
stored in the base, it is usually not necessary to turn off the headset to conserve
battery power. However, if you wish to turn the headset off and on, follow these
steps.
Turning the Headset Off and On
• Off (Standby Mode not active) – Press and hold the multifunction button on the headset
for about 3 seconds until you hear 3 beeps that descend in tone. The yellow light on
the headset will stop flashing. The headset is now off and you are no longer in Standby
Mode.
• On (Standby Mode active) – Press and hold the multifunction button on the headset for
about 3 seconds until you hear 3 beeps that ascend in tone. The yellow light on the
headset will flash every few seconds. The headset is now on and you are in Standby
Mode.
Make A Call / End A Call
You will need your phone to dial the phone number, however, you may end the call
remotely.
