Note: The redial memory holds up to 63 digits, so you can redial long- distance as well as local phone num- bers.

USING FLASH

Pressing FLASH sends the electronic equivalent of a switchhook signal. Use FLASH with special phone company services such as call waiting.

If you have call waiting, quickly press and release FLASH to take an incom- ing call without disconnecting the cur- rent call. Quickly press and release FLASH again to return to the first call.

Notes:

•Pressing and holding down FLASH for at least 1 second dis- connects the current call.

•Do not press FLASH to hang up the phone.

•When you redial a phone number that includes a flash entry, the phone only redials the numbers after FLASH. For example, if you dial 1 2 3 4 FLASH 5 6 7, pressing REDIAL only redials 5 6 7.

•If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call.

USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE

If you have pulse service, you can tem- porarily switch to tone dialing during a call for banking services or computer transactions.

Be sure TONE/PULSE on the back of the base is set to PULSE. Dial the num- ber as usual, then simply press on the handset at the appropriate place in the call to change to tone dialing. The phone automatically returns to pulse dialing when you hang up the call.

USING PRIVACY

If you do not want a person on the other end of the line to hear you, press and hold down PRIVACY on the handset. The handset’s microphone is turned off without ending the call. Release PRIVA- CY to resume your conversation.

Note: You can still hear the person on the other end of the line when you press and hold down PRIVACY.
