To release a call from hold, lift the handset and press TALK, press SPEAKER or HOLD on the base, or pick up any extension phone on the same line.

USING MUTE

While talking on the speakerphone, you can temporarily turn off the phone’s microphone by pressing MUTE so the other party cannot hear you. The SPEAKER indicator flashes.

Press MUTE or SPEAKER to resume your conversation.

Hint: If the phone is close to loud noises while you are using the speakerphone, the phone might not switch to let you hear the person on the other end of the line. If this happens, press MUTE to turn off the micro- phone so you can hear the caller. Press MUTE again to speak.

•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 18.

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

You can quickly dial any of the last three numbers you dialed recently on the handset. Lift the handset and repeatedly press AL/PAUSE until the number you wish to dial displays. Then press TALK and the phone di- als the number.

To dial the last number dialed using the base, press SPEAKER then REDIAL.

Notes:

•The redial memory for each keypad is separate. You cannot redial a number you dialed on the handset’s keypad using REDIAL on the base’s keypad, and vice versa.

•On the handset, you can also press

REDIAL/PAUSE after pressing TALK to dial the last number dialed.

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.

3.When the service answers, press TONE/

on the handset (TONE on the base). Any additional numbers you dial are sent as tone signals.

When you hang up, the phone automatically resets to pulse dialing.
