USING FLASH

FLASH performs the electronic equiva- lent of a switchhook operation for spe- cial 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 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 follow- ing these steps.

1.Be sure TONE/PULSE is set to

PULSE.

2.Dial the service’s main number.

3.When the service answers, press TONE. Then dial the additional numbers. The phone uses touch- tone dialing to dial these numbers.

4.After you complete the call, return the handset to the cradle or press TALK. The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode.
