CHANGING THE

CHANNEL

The ET-521 scans 25 channels (frequen- cy pairs used between the base and the handset) and automatically selects a clear channel each time you make or re- ceive a call.

CH and the current channel number ap- pear on the display for about 15 seconds when you make or receive a call.

If you hear other conversations or exces- sive noise during a call, press CHANNEL to select a different channel. The select- ed channel appears on the display.

Note: If the handset is too far from the base, the channel might not change. Move closer to the base and try again.

USING REDIAL

You can quickly redial the last number di- aled. Simply lift the handset and press TALK. When you hear the dial tone, press REDIAL. The number appears on the display as the phone dials it.

Notes:

•The redial memory holds up to 24 digits, so you can redial long- distance as well as local numbers.

•We recommend you not use REDIAL to dial numbers that include a tone entry. This could result in a wrong number being dialed. (See “Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line” on Page 20.)

•The redial memory does not store a flash entry or any digits entered af- ter you press FLASH (see “Using Flash”).

USING FLASH

FLASH performs the electronic equiva- lent 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.
