Notes:
• The redial memory holds up to 32
digits in the pulse mode and 31
digits in the tone mode. This
means you can redial long-
distance as well as local numbers.
• The redial memory also holds pause
entries (see “Using Pause”).
• The redial memory does not store a
flash entry or any digits you press
after
FLASH (see “Using Flash”).
USING PAUSE
In some telephone systems, you must
dial an access code (
9 , for example) and
wait for a second dial tone before you
can dial an outside number. You can
store the access code with the phone
number. However, you should also store
a pause after the access code to allow
the outside line time to connect.
To enter a 2-second pause, press
PAUSE/REDIAL at the desired location.
For a longer pause, press PAUSE/REDI-
AL additional times.
USING FLASH
FLASH performs the electronic equiva-
lent of a switchhook operation for spe-
cial services, such as Call Waiting or
transferring a call to another line in an
office network.
For example, if you have call waiting,
press
FLASH to answer an incoming call
without disconnecting the current call.
Press FLASH again to return to the first
call.
Note: If you do not have any special
phone services, pressing
FLASH might
disconnect the current call.
USING TONE SERVICES
ON A PULSE LINE
Some computer services, such as alter-
nate long-distance and bank-by-phone,
require tone signals. If you have pulse
service, you can still use these special
tone services by following these steps.
1. Be sure MODE is set to PULSE .
2. Dial the service’s main number.
3. When the special service answers,
set MODE to TONE . Any additional
numbers you dial are sent as tone
signals.
4. After you complete the call, hang up
the handset (or press SPEAKER )
and return MODE to PULSE .
Note: You cannot change from the
tone mode to the pulse mode during
a call. To make this change, you
must hang up the handset (or press
SPEAKER ) then set MODE to PULSE .
