ET-521 25-Channel Cordless Telephone w/Caller ID
 
(430-1021) Caller ID Faxback Doc. # 48213
 
 
 
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the ET-521
 
automatically displays the information the phone company sends between the
 
first and second rings of every call you receive. It stores up to 99
 
number only or name and number call records in its Caller ID memory.
 
 
 
It also shows the date and time the call was received. The display also
 
shows if caller information is not available or if the number is blocked
 
by the sender (see "Caller ID Displays" below).
 
 
 
The NEW CALL and MESSAGE indicators light on the base during an incoming
 
call, and the call record and NEW appear for 15 seconds, then the display
 
blanks out.
 
 
 
If you subscribe to your phone company's message waiting service, your
 
system informs you when you have a message waiting. If the MESSAGE
 
indicator on the base flashes and (envelope) appears, you have a voice
 
message in your mailbox. (Envelope) disappears from the display after 15
 
seconds, but the MESSAGE indicator flashes until you retrieve the message
 
or delete the Caller ID record.
 
 
 
If you subscribe to Call Waiting, the NEW CALL and MESSAGE indicators
 
light on the base during a call and Call Waiting appears briefly. The
 
Caller ID record appears. If you want to answer the incoming call, press
 
FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.

USING A HEADSET
 
 
 
You can make or answer calls with hands-free convenience using an optional
 
headset that has a 3/32-inch (2.5 mm) plug. We recommend RadioShack Cat.
 
No. 43-194, which is specially designed for use with the ET-521.
 
 
 
To connect the headset, insert the headset's plug into the headset jack on
 
the top of the handset.
 
 
 
Notes: Connecting a headset disconnects the handset's earpiece and
 
microphone.
 
 
 
If you place the handset on the base to recharge it while the
 
headset is connected, be sure the handset seats properly.
 
 
 
With a headset connected, you make or answer calls as usual using the keys
 
on the handset.
 
 
 
RadioShack also sells a handset holder (Cat. No. 43-197) which lets you
 
hang the handset on your belt for hands-free conversation.
