GCA70–313 Making Calls

3.3Dialing Manually

You can manually dial a number over any telephone line you select. Or, if the installer assigned a prime line or the idle line preference feature to your speakerphone, it will automatically select a line for use when you lift the handset.

∙To dial an outside number manually,

1.Lift handset or press line button and dial number.

3.4Redialing A Previously Dialed Number

The system temporarily saves the first 16 digits of the last manually dialed number for your redial use—if the last number you called is busy or is not answering, you can redial it once or initiate repeated redialing. Subsequent dialing activity overwrites a temporarily saved number.

If you wish to permanently save a number for later redial, refer to section 9.2, Storing Speed Dial Numbers.

If a distant party tells you an important telephone number and you want to immediately save it for later redial, you can use a SAVE NUMBER REDIAL button to save the first 16 digits of that number.

∙To automatically redial the last dialed number,

1.Press and release the hookswitch to disconnect current ringing or busy tone (press TAP if using a 8112N or 8212N telephone).

2.Press #.

3.Listen for ringing or busy tone over the telephone speaker.

Ringing tone: When party answers, pick up handset if you desire privacy.

Busy tone: Press SPEAKER to disconnect (hang up to disconnect on the 8112N and 8212N telephones).

∙To store a number while you are on a call,

1.Press preprogrammed SAVE NUMBER REDIAL button twice.

2.Dial the number that you wish to save (the system immediately saves the number for later redial—it does not dial it over the line that you are now on).
