[. . . ] When connecting your telephone to the network, it is important to ensure that you are not overloading it. Ever y piece of telephone equipment ­ fax, modems, etc. ­ has a Ringer Equivalence Number (or REN). If a REN is not indicated, a value of 1 can usually be assumed. [. . . ] You can switch between headset and handset and vice-versa by pressing this key at any time during a call. IMPORTANT Calls can only be transferred from the handset to the headset if a headset is connected to the telephone. It is possible, however, when making calls using the headset, to disconnect from the telephone using the Quick Disconnect (QD) without losing the call ­ the caller is placed on hold whilst the cord is disconnected. The call is still connected, and the conversation can be continued after reconnecting the QD. TM Headset `ON' LED While calls are being made using the headset, the headset `ON' LED (3) lights up to indicate that a call is in progress. The light goes out if no calls, or calls using the handset, are being made. Headset Volume Control A headset volume control (18) on the right hand side of the telephone allows you to select the most comfortable listening volume for the headset. The volume level can be set or changed at any time. Last Number Redial The last number dialled is stored in a last-number redial memory. To recall this number: s Lift the handset or press the headset key (3) s Wait for the dialling tone s Press the last number recall button (7) s The last number dialled is automatically redialled. Pause Key If your telephone is connected to a private branch exchange (PABX), you will usually have to dial "0" or "9" to access an outside exchange line. Some PABXs require a pause in order to give the PABX time to obtain the dialling tone. The Pause key (6) will provide a suitable pause and may be useful, especially when storing numbers. Please be aware each time the pause key (6) is pressed it counts as a digit. Tone Key The tone key ( ) enables you to switch, temporarily, from pulse to tone dialling. * 5 If your local telephone network only supports pulse dialling but you wish, say, to call an automated service (e. g. telephone banking) you can use the tone key to accomplish this: s Lift the receiver, and dial the number s Press the tone key; tones are now generated s When the call is ended, the telephone automatically reverts to pulse dialling mode. Latchable Mute To switch off the microphone, the `mute' key (8) can be pressed. If selected, the indicator light on the key lights up, and the microphone of the handset and the headset are switched off. On pressing the key again, the mute is cancelled. Handset Mute To temporarily switch off the microphone, press the handset mute (11) button. Releasing the button will restore speech. Recall Button The recall key (5) is used by PABX systems, and on digital exchanges. Contact your service provider for details of the features available. One common use of the recall key on PABX systems is to transfer calls to another extension. If you wish to transfer a call to another extension, press the recall button, and then dial the extension number you wish to contact. Assigning Telephone Numbers to the Memory Keys The StarBase 2010 headset telephone can store 19 telephone numbers. [. . . ] In this rest position on the headset `ON' LED (4) is switched off. You cannot dial You cannot hear ringing Set the pulse/tone switch (14) to pulse. Some network operators may require that an intended user requests consent to connect apparatus and/or requests installation of an appropriate socket. All approved apparatus (telephone, modem etc) carries an indication of its REN (Ringer Equivalence Number). This is provided to allow users to determine how many pieces of apparatus may be connected simultaneously to their telephone line whilst continuing to indicate incoming calls (ring) correctly.
