TELEPHONE OPERATION
Automatic Line Selection
Automatic Line Selection is preset to be active. This means the system is
preset to select a line for you when you lift the handset or press S.
The system will automatically select a ringing line before an idle line, and
an idle line before the primary line. If both lines are idle or ringing, the
primary line is selected. If you have manually selected a line, the selection
is active for five seconds and overrides automatic selection.
When Automatic Line Selection is off,the primary line will be selected
unless you select a line manually.
Automatic Redial
This phone can automatically and repeatedly redial the last number you
called. Press L or l, then press A without lifting the
handset, pressing K or pressing h. You will hear the numbers
being dialed. When the call is answered, you must either lift the handset or
press K to talk.
If the called line is busy, the phone will redial every 40 seconds up to
10 times (timing begins when the phone is on hook).
To stop automatic redialing at any time, press A again. Lifting
the handset or pressing h or K will also cancel automatic redial.
