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.

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.

dialed, lift the handset and repeatedly press

pears on the display, then press

so you can redial long-distance as well
as local numbers.

entries (see “Entering a Pause” on
Page 19).
