Telephone Operation
USING BOTH THE HANDSET
AND SPEAKERPHONE
If someone else is using the speakerphone,
press
TALK
on the handset to join the con-
versation. If someone else is using the hand-
set, press
SPEAKER
on the base to join the
conversation.
During the call, one person can hang up and
let the call continue. Or, both people can
hang up to end the call.
Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise from
the base’s speaker, the handset and the
base are too close together.
USING FLASH
FLASH
performs the electronic equivalent of
a switchhook operation for special services,
such as Call Waiting.
For example, if you have Call Waiting, press
FLASH
to answer an incoming call without
disconnecting the current call. Press
FLASH
again to return to the first call.
Note: If you do not have any special phone
services, pressing
FLASH
might disconnect
the current call.
USING REDIAL
To quickly dial any of the last three numbers
dialed, lift the handset and repeatedly press
REDIAL/PAUSE
until the desired number ap-
pears on the display, then press
TALK
.
Notes:
• The redial memory holds up to 32 digits,
so you can redial long-distance as well
as local numbers.
• The redial memory also holds pause
entries (see “Entering a Pause” on
Page 19).

phone, require tone signals. If you have

tone services by following these steps.

while you are using the page feature.
USING A HEADSET
You can talk with hands-free convenience
using an optional headset that has a

(2.5-mm) plug. Contact your local Ra-
dioShack store for a suitable headset.
To connect the headset, open the rubber
cover on the side of the handset, then insert
the headset’s plug into the jack.
Notes:
• Connecting a headset disconnects the
handset’s earpiece and microphone.
