- Storing Contacts: The phonebook can store up to 20 names and numbers. Access the phonebook via the 'OK/MENU' button and follow the on-screen prompts to add new entries.

5. Caller ID and Hands-Free

6. Three-Way Conference Call

Consult the on-screen menu for specific steps to initiate a conference call, typically involving placing an external call, then initiating an internal call to the second handset, and finally merging the calls.
Maintenance

- Battery Care: Use only the supplied rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. If the phone will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Placement: Avoid placing the phone in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with high humidity.
