Notes:

•The redial memory holds up to 32 digits in the pulse mode and 31 digits in the tone mode. This means you can redial long- distance as well as local numbers.

•The redial memory also holds pause entries (see “Using Pause”).

•The redial memory does not store a flash entry or any digits you press after FLASH (see “Using Flash”).

USING PAUSE

In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. You can store the access code with the phone number. However, you should also store a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to connect.

To enter a 2-second pause, press PAUSE/REDIAL at the desired location. For a longer pause, press PAUSE/REDI- AL additional times.

USING FLASH

FLASH performs the electronic equiva- lent of a switchhook operation for spe- cial services, such as Call Waiting or transferring a call to another line in an office network.

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 computer services, such as alter- nate long-distance and 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 MODE is set to PULSE.

2.Dial the service’s main number.

3.When the special service answers, set MODE to TONE. Any additional numbers you dial are sent as tone signals.

4.After you complete the call, hang up the handset (or press SPEAKER) and return MODE to PULSE.

Note: You cannot change from the tone mode to the pulse mode during a call. To make this change, you must hang up the handset (or press

SPEAKER) then set MODE to PULSE.
