To make a call, press PHONE/FLASH, then dial a number. Press OFF/CLEAR or place in charger, (Auto Off,) to hang up.

To preview numbers before dialing, enter numbers first, then press PHONE/FLASH to dial. Press CIDV anytime to make corrections when entering numbers.

Last number redial

Press REDIAL/PAUSE on the handset to display the last number called (up to 32 digits). To dial the number dis- played, press PHONE/FLASH. You can also press

PHONE/FLASH and then REDIAL/PAUSE to dial the last number called without previewing it.

To delete this number, press REDIAL/PAUSE twice.This will clear the redial memory and leave it blank.

Ring silencing

The handset ringer can be temporarily turned off by pressing OFF/CLEAR during incoming ringing. You can answer the call, or let the caller leave a message. This will silence the ringer without disconnecting the call. If your answering system is on, the caller will be asked to leave a message (see page 36). The next call will ring normally.

NOTE: Pressing OFF/CLEAR will only temporarily silence the ring- er on the handset. The telephone base will continue to ring normally.
