dial, then press SPEAKERPHONE and
return the handset to the cradle.
USING A HEADSET
For hands-free convenience, you can
connect an optional headset with a
3 /
32
-
inch (2.5 mm) plug to the telephone.
Contact your local RadioShack store for
a suitable headset.
With the handset off the hook, plug the
headset's cord into the
HEADSET jack
on the left side of the telephone.
To switch from the headset to the hand-
set, unplug the headset cord from the
telephone, replace the handset on the
cradle, then pick up the handset to make
or receive a call.
USING PRIVACY
To temporarily disconnect the speaker-
phone or handset without ending the call
(so you can talk privately with someone
in the room), press
PRIVACY . The PRI-
VACY indicator lights and the person on
the other end of the phone line cannot
hear you.
To resume your call, press PRIVACY
again. The PRIVACY indicator goes off.
You can also use the privacy feature
with the handset microphone.
USING REDIAL
You can quickly redial the last number
dialed by pressing
REDIAL while you
hear a dial tone. The redial number is re-
placed each time you dial a new num-
ber.
Note: If you press FLASH while dialing a
number, only the digits preceding
FLASH are stored in redial memory.
USING FLASH
Many special telephone services, such
as Call Waiting, require a switchhook
signal.
FLASH provides the electronic
equivalent of a switchhook operation.
For example, if you have Call Waiting,
you can put a call on hold and take a
second incoming call on the same line
by pressing
FLASH .
Neither the flash entry nor any digits you
dial after you press
FLASH are stored in
redial memory. However, you can store
a flash entry within a memory dialing se-
quence as the first digit. The flash entry
counts as one digit in memory.
Note: If you do not have any special
phone services, pressing
FLASH might
disconnect the current call.
USING INTEROFFICE
SIGNALS
Some interoffice telephone systems pro-
vide special services that require a
switchhook signal. For example, a single
switchhook signal followed by an exten-
sion can transfer a call from one office to
another inside the office telephone net-
work.
