It may also be necessary to press other buttons before or after pressing FLASH, as explained in the custom calling instructions provided by your local telephone company. When there is a call waiting signal, press FLASH to put the current call on hold and connect to the new call. Press FLASH again to return to the original call.

Redial

This telephone always stores the last telephone number dialed in its memory. The redial memory can accept numbers up to 32 digits. The telephone will remain in memory until another telephone number is dialed. To dial the same number again, lift the handset, and press REDIAL.

Tone

Temporarily changes from Dial Pulse to Touch Tone during a call for users of rotary service. It allows access to services which require tone signaling, including some tone activated computer systems (e.g., telephone banking).

1. Dial the destination number with the DIAL set to

DP.

2. Press TONE. All buttons pressed after this will

send tone signals.

3. After hanging up, the telephone returns to pulse dial service.

NOTE: When TONE is pressed, or if TONE is in a memory location, there will be a pause to allow the set to switch from PULSE to TONE.
