CHANGING CHANNELS

Your ET-542’s auto-scan feature auto- matically selects a clear channel when you pick up the phone. If you experi- ence interference during a call, press CH to switch to another channel (25 in all) until you receive better reception.

Note: We recommend you not use REDIAL/PAUSE to dial numbers that in- clude a tone entry (TONE/ ) (see “Us- ing Tone Services on a Pulse Line”).

USING FLASH

Use FLASH on the handset to perform the switchhook operation for special services, such as call waiting.

USING REDIAL

To quickly redial the last number di- aled, simply lift the handset and press TALK, then press REDIAL/PAUSE.

The redial memory holds up to 80 dig- its in the tone mode or 79 digits in the pulse mode. The redial memory also holds pause entries (see “Entering a Pause” under “Memory Dialing”).

For example, if you have call waiting, press FLASH to take an incoming call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to return to the first call.

Notes:

If you do not have call waiting, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call.

The redial memory does not store a FLASH entry or any digits entered after you press FLASH.
