• When dialing a number, if you
press a number and 3 short beeps
sound, you are out of the base’s
range, the battery is too low, or
there is too much interference on
the line. Move the handset closer
to the base or recharge the bat-
tery, if necessary.
USING REDIAL
To quickly redial the last number di-
aled, simply lift the handset from the
base or press
TALK so the TALK indi-
cator lights. Then press REDIAL .
The redial memory holds up to 80 dig-
its, so you can redial long distance as
well as local numbers.
Notes:
• We recommend you not use
REDIAL to dial numbers that
include a TONE entry (see “Using
Tone Services on a Pulse Line”).
• The redial memory does not store
a FLASH entry or any digits
entered after you press FLASH .
USING FLASH
Use FLASH on the handset to send the
electronic equivalent of a switchhook
press for special services, such as call
waiting.
For example, if you have call waiting,
press
FLASH to take an incoming call
without disconnecting the current call.
Press
FLASH again to return to the first
call.
Notes:
• If you do not have any special
phone services, pressing FLASH
might disconnect the current call.
• The redial memory does not store
a FLASH entry or any digits
entered after you press FLASH .
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.
