House Phone
There is a flag, called “House Phone Mode,” that affects single-line house phones. The house 
phone can be programmed to return to dial tone after a call is disconnected (normal mode). 
This allows the user to enter a feature code or place a call. Or, the dial tone can be disabled 
(restricted mode) to prevent the user from performing any operation other than placing a 
house-phone call. In the default state, this is normal. The interaction of the House Phone Mode 
flag with the programmed speed-dial number and system feature is shown below.
