NOTES:

When the telephone automatically redials, it always uses the prime line.

While reviewing the numbers in the redial stack, if you want to place a new call other than the displayed number, you need

to press and hold [ENTER] or wait for 30 seconds to return to idle.

Within the 30-second auto redialing period, you must lift the handset, or press

[ SPEAKER] or [HEADSET] if you want to stay in the call, otherwise, the line will hang up and redial again.

During these 30 seconds, if you want to end the auto- redial attempts, press [ SPEAKER] twice (or [HEADSET] twice if the headset is being used).

If the line is busy, there is a busy tone lasting for approximately 20-25 seconds before hanging up. After another 30 seconds, the call will be redialed again. The [(AUTO) REDIAL] light will remain on.

This process will be repeated up to 10 times or until the called number is free to accept calls. If the line is still busy after 10 attempts, no more attempts will be made.
