ET-545 Cordless Telephone
(430-1045) Operation Faxback Doc. # 39508
Your ET-545's handset display shows telephone numbers as you dial them or
when you recall them from memory. The handset shows the current channel
number and the duration of your call in minutes and seconds.
If you subscribe to Caller ID, the ET-545 also automatically displays
information about an incoming call before you answer the call.
MAKING/ANSWERING A CALL
You can use your cordless telephone at the base or away from the base.
At the Base
You can use the handset at the base like a regular corded telephone.
Set POWER to ON and place the handset on the base.
Note:
When POWER is set to OFF, other telephones on the same line still
ring when there is an incoming call. The CHARGE/TALK indicator on the
base flashes until you answer the call.
To answer a call, just lift the handset from the base.
To make a call, lift the handset from the base and press TALK.
The handset keypad and the CHARGE/TALK indicator on the base light.
The keypad on the handset turns off if no button is pressed for more than
10 seconds (but the TALK key remains lit).
To disconnect a call, replace the handset on the base or press TALK so the
TALK key turns off.
Away from the Base
You can use the handset without being near the base. Set POWER to ON.
To make or answer a call, press TALK so the TALK key on the handset
lights.
Notes:
If the phone is out of range of the base, the handset beeps three
times and the TALK key turns off.
You can make or answer a call on a phone on the same line as the
cordless phone, even if the ET-545's handset is away from the base.
The keypad on the handset turns off if no button is pressed for more
than 10 seconds (but the TALK key remains lit.)
To disconnect a call, press TALK so the TALK key turns off.
REDUCING INTERFERENCE
The ET-545 automatically selects a clear channel at the start of each
call. CH and the current channel number appear on the display whenever
TALK is lit. Sometimes, however, the selected channel picks up
interference during a call. To reduce interference during a call, press
CH to switch to another channel (25 in all) until you receive better
reception.
USING REDIAL
To quickly redial the last number dialed, simply lift the handset and
press TALK, then press REDIAL/PAUSE. The redialed number appears on the
display and the phone dials it.
Notes:
The redial memory holds up to 80 digits.
We recommend you not use REDIAL/PAUSE to dial numbers that include a
tone entry (see "Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line").
The redial memory does not store a FLASH/DEL entry or any digits
entered after you press FLASH/DEL.
USING FLASH/DEL
Use FLASH/DEL on the handset to perform the switchhook operation for
special services, such as Call Waiting.
For example if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH/DEL to take an
incoming call without disconnecting the current call. FLASH briefly
appears on the display. Press FLASH/DEL again to return to the first
call.
Notes:
If you do not have special phone services, pressing FLASH/DEL might
disconnect the current call.
The redial memory does not store a FLASH/DEL entry or any digits
entered after you press FLASH/DEL.
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. Set TONE/PULSE on the base to PULSE.
2. Dial the service's main number.
3. When the service answers, press TONE on the keypad. A appears on the
display. Then dial the additional numbers. The phone sends these
numbers as tone signals.
4. When you complete the call, place the handset on the base or press
TALK to disconnect the call. The phone automatically resets to pulse
dialing.
USING PAGE
The PAGE feature allows you to send a page from the base to the handset,
so you can page someone at the handset or locate it if you misplaced it.
When you press PAGE on the base with POWER set to ON, the handset beeps
four sets of two beeps, TALK flashes, and PAGING YOU appears on the
display. The CHARGE/TALK indicator on the base flashes.
Note: The handset will not beep during a call.
MEMORY DIALING
You can store up to 30 phone numbers and associated names for quick and
easy dialing. Each stored number can be up to 16 digits long, and each
name can be up to 15 characters.
Notes:
If TONE/PULSE is set to PULSE and you want to use tone dialing for a
memory number, you must store the tone entry (TONE) as the first entry
of the number you want to tone dial.
Do not store a number with both pulse and tone entries in the same
memory location. This could result in a wrong number being dialed.
To keep your accounts secure, we recommend you do not store your personal
access code for services such as bank-by-phone in a memory location.
Storing a Name and Number in Memory
1. With POWER set to ON, press MEMORY. The keypad lights and MEMO #00
appears on the display.
Note:
If you do not press any button on the keypad within about 25 seconds,
the keypad light turns off and the handset sounds 3 beeps. You must
press MEMORY again so the keypad lights before you can store the
telephone number.
2. Press ENTER. ENTER NAME appears on the display
3. Use the keypad to enter characters and spaces.
Note
To store the phone number without entering a name, skip this step.

want to store the number. The index number appears, and two long
beeps sound. The phone number is now stored in that memory location.
8. Pull out the memory index card from the bottom of the base. Write the
person's or company's name and memory location number on the sheet in
pencil (in case you want to change it later).
Notes:
If you receive a call while you are storing a number in memory, press
TALK to answer the call. After the call, begin again at Step 1 to
store the number.
To change a number stored in memory, simply store a new number in that
location. To delete a number, see "Deleting a Number from Memory."
Entering a Pause in a Memory Number
In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example)
and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number.
If your phone is connected to one of these systems, you might want to
enter a pause after the access code when you store a phone number in
memory.
At the appropriate place in the number, press REDIAL/PAUSE to enter a
2-second pause. P appears. For a longer pause, press REDIAL/PAUSE again.
Note:
Each REDIAL/PAUSE entry uses one digit of memory.
Reviewing Numbers Stored in Memory
Press MEMORY, then enter the number of the memory location to display the
stored number.
You can also review the information stored in memory by pressing MEMORY,
then REVIEW <or>.

You can make a call using more than one of the ET-545's memory locations.
This is called chain dialing. Chain dialing is useful for dialing special
services such as alternate long distance or bank-by-phone.
When storing numbers for special services, store the service's main phone
number in one memory location and numbers for additional information in
other memory locations.
When calling special services, dial the service's main number first.
Then, at the appropriate place in the fall, press MEMORY and the memory
location number for the additional information.
Testing Stored Emergency Numbers
If you store an emergency service's number (police department, fire
department, ambulance) and you want to test the stored number, make the
test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak
demand periods. Remain on the line to explain the reason for your call.
CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID, the system automatically displays
information about calls you receive and stores the information in
Caller ID memory. The system can store up to 100 number only or name

number of the call. The second line shows the phone number of the caller
and other information about the call (see "Caller ID Displays").
