Each line displays up to 16 alphanumeric characters. While in Battery Save mode the base station does not send LCD information to the 900 MHz handset while it is idle, except in the following cases. · When the 900 Mhz handset has a call holding. · If the base station detects the key telephone has a call holding. If the base station detects either condition above, the first line of the LCD is idled and the second line displays the identity of the party on hold. If a holding call isn't detected, the LCD is cleared immediately after the base station is set to IDLE. If the 900 MHz handset is idle and a holding call is diconnected, the LCD goes blank. The base station memorizes the last first and second lines of the LCD. This feature allows the 900 MHz handset to re-display information about the last call. When the base station receives either first or second lines of information from the DBS while the 900 MHz handset is in use, it replaces the memory, and sends both first or second lines of data to the handset. When placing a call the base station does not send display updates, it displays the number you are dialing. When an incoing call is received, the base station transmits the LCD information to the 900 MHz Handset. 6 Understanding Your Telephone When the 900 MHz handset goes idle, the handset LCD is cleared.
