16 Telephone Operation
SWITCHING BETWEEN THE
HANDSET AND
SPEAKERPHONE
To switch to the speakerphone while you are
using the handset, press
SPEAKER on the
base. When you hear the conversation on
the speakerphone, press
TALK on the hand-
set.
To switch to the handset while you are using
the speakerphone, lift the handset off the
base. If the handset is away from the base,
press
TALK , then press SPEAKER .
USING BOTH THE HANDSET
AND SPEAKERPHONE
If someone else is using the speakerphone,
press
TALK on the handset to join the con-
versation. If someone else is using the hand-
set, press
SPEAKER on the base to join the
conversation.
During the call, one person can hang up and
let the call continue at the other keypad. Or,
both people can hang up to end the call.
Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise from
the base’s speaker, the handset and the
base are too close together.
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 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 REDIAL
To quickly dial any of the last three numbers
dialed, lift the handset and repeatedly press
REDIAL/PAUSE until the desired number ap-
pears on the display, then press TALK .
Notes:
• The redial memory holds up to 32 digits,
so you can redial long-distance as well
as local numbers.
• The redial memory also holds pause
entries (see “Entering a Pause” on
Page 19).
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. Be sure DIAL MODE is set to P .
2. Dial the service’s main number. When
the service answers, press TONE (
∗
) on
the handset. Any additional numbers
you dial are sent as tone signals. When
you hang up, the phone automatically
resets to pulse dialing.
