TELEPHONE OPERATION

You can make and answer calls with this telephone as you would with any other phone. Read this section to learn about special features.

Note: When you receive a call, the telephone rings and the lighted ringer bar flashes.

For example, if you subscribe to Call Waiting, you can put your current call on hold and answer another call on the same line by pressing FLASH. Press FLASH again to alternate be- tween the two calls.

Note: If you do not have any special telephone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect your current call.

USING REDIAL

To quickly dial the last number dialed, press REDIAL. The redial memory stores up to 32 digits in both the tone and pulse modes so you can quickly redial local as well as long-distance numbers.
