Using your Freestyle 1100 Plus
To set the ring mode switch
The ring mode switch on the side of the
handset can be set to either:
•
RAMPED (gradually increasing volume) or
•
CONSTANT (constant volume).
RING MODE
RAMPED CONSTANT
The constant mode should only be used if the
telephone is connected as an extension to a PBX.
Under any other condition the switch ought to be
set to ramped to prevent the possibility of damage
to the user’s hearing if the handset is close to the
ear when it rings. Do not hold the handset to the
ear when in standby mode.
To set the tel mode switch (located at back
of base unit)
The tel mode switch (located at back of base
unit) selects tone or pulse dialling and earth
or time break recall:
•
T-TB – Your Freestyle 1100 Plus is preset to
this position. Most modern exchanges use
tone dialling and time break recall for faster
dialling, and for services such as BT’s Select
Services and telephone banking.
• P-E – If you dial a number when your
Freestyle 1100 Plus is set to
T-TB or T- E
and you continue to hear the dialling tone,
you may be connected to an older pulse
dialling exchange. Set the switch to
P-E
(pulse dialling).
•
T- E – This setting is for use if you are
connected to a tone dialling PBX (private
branch exchange) that uses earth recall.
To set the ringer switch
There are 3 settings to choose from:
•
HI – a loud ring, your Freestyle 1100 Plus is
preset to this position.
•
LO – a quiet ring.
•
OFF – no ring (the handset will still ring if it
is not on the base-unit).
