With current Telecom redialing situations, there are 4 redial options: (1)

7digits without a 1 prefix; (2) 7 digits with a 1 prefix; (3) 10 digits without a 1 prefix; and (4) 10 digits with a 1 prefix.

1.7 digits without a 1 : Assuming that you have programmed your correct area code, redial your local call by pressing the REDIAL Button ONCE.

2.7 digits with a 1 : Assuming that you have programmed your correct area code, scroll to the local 7 digit call you wish to redial. Simply press the REDIAL Button TWICE.

3.10 digits without a 1 : Due to the software setup of the FM2560 you are instructed to enter your 3 digit local area code. In some areas of the country, you must include your area code when making a local call. To solve this issue, you should reprogram your FM2560 to another 3 digit "fictitious" area code. We recommend using an area code not currently being use in the U.S., (i.e... 100 etc.) Once your area code is programmed as above, your FM2560 will show all "10 digits" for every incoming call. To redial a local 10 digit call, press the REDIAL Button twice in succession. The "1" prefix is then omitted and the local 10 digit

call is redialed out.
