USING PRIVACY

Hold down PRIVACY to talk to someone else in the room without the person on the other end of the phone line hearing your conversation. You can still hear the per- son on the other end of the phone line.

Notes:

•The redial memory does not store the FLASH entry or the digits you press after FLASH.

•If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might dis- connect your current call.

USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE

Release PRIVACY to resume your phone conversation.

USING FLASH

Illustration

FLASH provides the electronic equivalent of a switchhook signal for special phone services such as Call Waiting.

For example, if you have Call Waiting, you can put your current call on hold and answer a second call by pressing FLASH. Press FLASH again to alternate between the two calls.

Some special phone services, such as bank-by-phone, require tone signals. If you have pulse service, you can still use these special tone services.

1.Dial the service’s main number.

2.Press TONE/ at the point where tone signals are required, then dial the additional numbers. The phone sends these numbers as tone signals.

3.The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode when you hang up.
