TELEPHONE OPERATION 

Make and answer phone calls on the
TAD-1028 as you would with any other
phone. Read this section to learn about
the phone’s special features.

SETTING THE HANDSET 
VOLUME

The handset’s volume control lets you
adjust the sound you hear through the
handset.

To increase or decrease the volume,
roll the handset’s volume control up or
down.

USING REDIAL

You can quickly dial the last number di-
aled. When you hear a dial tone, simply
press 

REDIAL

.

Note: The redial memory holds up to 31
tone digits or 32 pulse digits, so you can

redial long distance as well as local
numbers.

USING RESET

To disconnect a call without hanging up
the phone, simply hold down 

RESET

 for

about 1 second. When you release it
and hear a dial tone, dial again.

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 following
these steps.

1. With 

TONE/PULSE

 set to 

PULSE

,

dial the service’s main number.

2. When the service answers, set

TONE/PULSE 

to 

TONE

. Any addi-

tional numbers you dial are sent as
tone signals.

3. After you complete the call, set

TONE/PULSE 

back to 

PULSE

 and

hang up the phone.
