Operation
To release a call from hold, lift the handset
and press TALK, press SPEAKER or HOLD on
the base, or pick up any extension phone on
the same line.
USING MUTE
While talking on the speakerphone, you can
temporarily turn off the phone’s microphone
by pressing MUTE so the other party cannot
hear you. The SPEAKER indicator flashes.
Press MUTE or SPEAKER to resume your
conversation.
Hint: If the phone is close to loud noises
while you are using the speakerphone, the
phone might not switch to let you hear the
person on the other end of the line. If this
happens, press MUTE to turn off the micro-
phone so you can hear the caller. Press
MUTE again to speak.
USING REDIAL
You can quickly dial any of the last three
numbers you dialed recently on the handset.
Lift the handset and repeatedly press REDI-
AL/PAUSE until the number you wish to dial
displays. Then press TALK and the phone di-
als the number.
To dial the last number dialed using the
base, press SPEAKER then REDIAL.
Notes:
• The redial memory for each keypad is
separate. You cannot redial a number
you dialed on the handset’s keypad
using
REDIAL on the base’s keypad, and
vice versa.
• On the handset, you can also press
REDIAL/PAUSE after pressing TALK to
dial the last number dialed.
• The redial memory holds up to 32 digits,
so you can redial long-distance as well
as local numbers.
• The redial memory also holds pause
entries. See “Entering a Pause” on
Page 18.
USING FLASH
FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of
a switchhook operation for special services,
such as Call Waiting.
For example, if you have Call Waiting, press
FLASH to answer an incoming call without
disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH
again to return to the first call.
Note: If you do not have any special phone
services, pressing FLASH might disconnect
the current call.
USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE
Some special services, such as bank-by-
phone, require tone signals. If you have
pulse service, you can still use these special
tone services by following these steps.
1. Be sure DIAL MODE is set to P.
2. Dial the service’s main number.
3. When the service answers, press TONE /
on the handset (TONE on the base).
Any additional numbers you dial are
sent as tone signals.
When you hang up, the phone automatically
resets to pulse dialing.
