Notes:

•The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long- distance as well as local num- bers.

•The redial memory also holds pause entries. See “Entering a Pause” on Page 15.

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

USING FLASH

FLASH performs the electronic equiva- lent of a switchhook operation for spe- cial 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 follow- ing these steps.

1.Be sure P∙ ∙T is set to P.

2.Lift the handset from the cradle or press TALK.

3.Dial the service’s main number.

4.When the service answers, press TONE. Any additional numbers you dial are sent as tone signals.

5.After you complete the call, return the handset to the cradle or press TALK. The phone automatically resets to the pulse mode.
