Call list

Here you get an overview of the people you have called, and the people who have called you.

To see the list, choose menu -> features -> call lists. When in the contact directory you have the option to see received or placed calls, or to delete calls.

For received calls, you will see one of two symbols to the left of the number (or a name if the number is saved on your phone). An imange of a phone with the receiver off means the call has been answered. An image of a phone with the receiver down means the call has not been answered.

Handsfree

The phone has a loudspeaker and a microphone.

When the receiver is in its cradle, you can press the handsfree button to activate the loudspeaker. This enables you to dial a number without picking up the receiver. Please note than only one person can speak at a time (you will not be able to hear the other person when you speak).

You end the call by pressing the handsfree button again, or by picking up the receiver and put it back in its cradle.

If you want to continue the conversation using the receiver, you simply pick it up.

When using handsfree, you can turn the microphone on and off by pressing the red button with the line across the microphone.
