To redial a local 10 digit call, press the "CALL BACK" Button twice in succession. The "1" prefix is then omitted and the local 10 digit call is redialed out.

If your area requires that you add 1 and your area code even if the call is within the same area code, then you must reprogram your FM2572 to another 3-digit "fictitious" area code. The "1" prefix will be added before the 10 digit number and your long distance call will be dialed out.

.Note: Use caution when pressing the CALL BACK button. Press and release rapidly; if the CALL BACK button is held down too long, the "VIP" feature will be activated.
