Introduction  
The 20-2432 is an advanced cordless telephone that operates in the 2.4GHz  
frequency range.  
This manual is designed to familiarize you with the 20-2432 cordless  
telephone. We strongly recommend you read the manual before using your  
phone.  
To order replacement batteries or accessory headsets, call your  
nearest Bell South business office or visit one of our conveniently  
located Retail Stores.  
MENU DRIVEN DISPLAYS  
The 20-2432 Handset and Base feature a user-friendly display, making it easy  
to access the many features of this cordless system. The three black keys,  
found directly below the LCD screen, are called soft keys. They are called  
this because their functions change depending on what you're doing-making  
a call, reviewing Caller ID, adding a name and number to your Phone Book,  
etc.  
For example, when the Handset is in the idle mode, the LCD displays:  
In this case, the 3 soft keys access REDIAL, MENU and MEMORY.  
When the Handset is active, the LCD displays:  
In this case, the 3 soft keys access VOLUME, HOLD and MUTE.

Connecting to the telephone lines  
Your 2-Line 20-2432 will work fine even if you only have one telephone line.  
We recommend connecting the modular telephone cord to the jack labeled  
LINE 1 / L1 + L2, located on the bottom of the Base Unit. Here are steps for  
connecting 2 lines:  
If you have 2 Lines coming out of a Single Wall Jack:  
Connect a 4-wire (RJ-14) modular phone cord between the wall jack and the  
phone jack labeled L1 / L1 + L2.  
If you have 2 Lines, each coming out of Separate Wall Jacks:  
Connect a modular phone cord from the wall jack you want to designate as  
your LINE 1, to the LINE 1 / L1 + L2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Next,  
connect a phone cord from the remaining wall jack to the LINE 2 jack on the  
Base Unit.  
Data Port  
Your 2-Line 20-2432 has a Data Port on the back of the Base Unit. This port  
provides an easy way to connect your fax machine, laptop computer, modem  
or other telephone device for direct access to LINE 2.  
The Data Port only provides access to Line 2, so you must have an active line  
connected to the LINE 2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Connect a  
modular phone cord from the Data Port (look for the small door marked DATA  
on the back of the Base Unit) to your fax, laptop, etc.  
NOTE: While the Data Port is in use, accidental use of Line 2 by a parallel  
phone, your 20-2432, or a Call Waiting ID alert may interrupt the data  
transmission.

Call History (Caller ID)  
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID  
These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service  
providers. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these  
features. If you do not subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still use  
your 20-2432 and the other features it offers.  
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be  
available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may  
intentionally block their name and phone number from being sent.  
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID  
Your 20-2432 is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party  
calling before you answer the phone (Caller ID). It is also capable of  
displaying Caller ID information in conjunction with a Call Waiting alert  
signal (Call Waiting Caller ID). With Call Waiting Caller ID, the Caller ID  
data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or  
continue with your current conversation.  
As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID are received, your Handset and Base  
displays will alert to the new, Caller ID records, for example:  
OR  
The number of new calls displayed on the Handset and Base may not be  
the same. If, for example, you answer a call on the Handset, it will not count  
the Caller ID information for that call as new. However, the Base display will  
consider it a new call, and add it to the NEW CALLS total.  
After you review all new Caller ID records, the NEW CALLS status will be  
turned off.  
The following information explains how to access Caller ID records(Call  
History):  
From Handset or Base:  
From the idle (OFF) mode, press MENU.  
CALL HISTORY is highlighted. Press OK.  
The Caller ID information of the most recent  
inbound call will be displayed:  
NOTE: When your Handset displays

pre-registered to your Base in the factory.  
For example: if the call was from Line 1:

6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers  
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store  
police, fire department and emergency medical service telephone num-  
bers in these locations. If you do, please keep three things in mind:  
a We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the direc-  
tory card, so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if  
the memory dialing feature doesn’t work.  
b This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer  
assumes no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory fea-  
ture.  
c Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not rec-  
ommended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:  
You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the  
call before hanging up.  
Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed  
during off-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening,  
when the emergency services tend to be less busy.
