This phone has a call duration timer that starts counting from 00:00 when you press TALK to make or receive a call. The time stops counting when you press TALK again to end the call. The call duration display remains for 12 seconds after you end the call. Notes:

When you press a button, a single tone indicates that the phone has ac- cepted the command. Three tones in- dicate that you pressed a button in error or there is severe interference. If interference is severe, the handset might lose communication with the base and the call might disconnect. If this happens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security access-protection code.

CH — Every time you press TALK, the phone automatically selects a clear channel it uses for communication between the handset and the base. If you hear interference during a call, repeat- edly press CH to change the channel until you get a clear one.

aled, press TALK then REDIAL/CALLBACK. To redial a busy number, press REDIAL/

FLASH/DELETE — pro- vides the electronic equiva- lent of a switchhook signal for special phone services such as Call Waiting.

For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH/DELETE to an- swer an incoming call with- out disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH/ DELETE again to return to the first call.

Note: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH/DELETE might disconnect your cur- rent call.
