Telephone Operation
Notes:
² The redial memory holds up to 16 digits, so you can redial long-distance as well as local numbers.
² We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a tone entry. This could result in a wrong
number being dialed. (See “Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line” on Page 12.)
² The redial memory does not store a flash entry or any digits entered after you press FLASH (see “Using
Flash” on Page 12).
USING FLASH
FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation for special services, such as Call Waiting.
For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH to answer an incom-
ing call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to re-
turn to the first call.
Note: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call.
USING MUTE
To talk to someone else in the room without the person on the other end
of the phone line hearing your conversation, press
MUTE during the call.
The MUTE indicator on the handset lights.
To resume your phone conversation, press MUTE again.
USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE
Some special services, such as bank-by-phone, require tone signals. If you have pulse service, you can still
use these special tone services by following these steps.
1 Dial the service’s main number.
2 When the service answers, press TONE/ . Any additional numbers you dial are sent as tone signals.
3 After you complete the call, return the handset on the base or press PHONE. The phone automatically re-
sets to pulse dialing.
USING PAGE
You can use the SP-515 as a pager between the base and the handset. This is useful if the handset is away
from the base and you want to locate it, or if you want to page the person with the handset.
To page the person who has the handset or to locate the handset when
the phone is not in use, press
PAGE/HANDSET LOCATOR . The handset
beeps briefly. If you want the handset to beep for
