Radio Shack TAD-1018 owner manual Telephone Operation, Using Pause, Using Redial, Using Flash

TELEPHONE OPERATION

You can make and answer calls with this telephone as you would with any other phone. Read this section to learn about special features.

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 enter a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to connect.

To enter a 4-second pause while dial- ing a phone number, press PAUSE. For a longer pause, press PAUSE ad- ditional times.

USING REDIAL

To quickly dial the last number dialed, press REDIAL. The redial memory stores up to 32 digits so you can quickly redial local as well as long- distance numbers.

USING FLASH

Many special phone services, such as Call Waiting, require a switchhook sig- nal. Pressing FLASH performs the electronic equivalent of a switchhook operation.

For example, if you subscribe to Call Waiting, press FLASH to put your cur- rent call on hold and answer an in- coming call on the same line. Press FLASH again to alternate between the two calls.
