Using the PAUSE Button (For PBX Line/Long Distance Calls) Handset Base Unit

We recommend you press the soft key ( PAUSE ) on the handset or press [REDIAL/ PAUSE] on the base unit if a pause is required for dialling with a PBX or to make a long distance call.

•“ PAUSE ” is displayed on the handset only when dialling before pressing [C] or [s] (p. 30), or storing numbers in the phone book (p. 41).

Ex. Line access number [9] (PBX)

[9]NSoft key ( PAUSE ) or [REDIAL/PAUSE] N Phone number

•Pressing the soft key ( PAUSE ) on the handset or [REDIAL/PAUSE] on the base unit once creates a 3.5 second pause. This prevents misdialling when you dial after confirming the entered number (p. 30) or dial a stored number (p. 43, 44, 48).

•Pressing the soft key ( PAUSE ) on the handset or [REDIAL/PAUSE] on the base unit more than once increases the length of the pause between numbers.
