Note: The redial memory holds up to
63 digits, so you can redial long-
distance as well as local phone num-
bers.
USING FLASH
Pressing FLASH sends the electronic
equivalent of a switchhook signal. Use
FLASH with special phone company
services such as call waiting.
If you have call waiting, quickly press
and release
FLASH to take an incom-
ing call without disconnecting the cur-
rent call. Quickly press and release
FLASH again to return to the first call.
Notes:
• Pressing and holding down
FLASH for at least 1 second dis-
connects the current call.
• Do not press FLASH to hang up
the phone.
• When you redial a phone number
that includes a flash entry, the
phone only redials the numbers
after
FLASH. For example, if you
dial 1 2 3 4 FLASH 5 6 7 , pressing
REDIAL only redials 5 6 7 .
• If you do not have any special
phone services, pressing FLASH
might disconnect the current call.
USING TONE SERVICES
ON A PULSE LINE
If you have pulse service, you can tem-
porarily switch to tone dialing during a
call for banking services or computer
transactions.
Be sure TONE/PULSE on the back of
the base is set to PULSE . Dial the num-
ber as usual, then simply press on
the handset at the appropriate place in
the call to change to tone dialing. The
phone automatically returns to pulse
dialing when you hang up the call.
USING PRIVACY
If you do not want a person on the other
end of the line to hear you, press and
hold down
PRIVACY on the handset.
The handset’s microphone is turned off
without ending the call. Release
PRIVA-
CY to resume your conversation.
Note: You can still hear the person on
the other end of the line when you
press and hold down
PRIVACY .
