Special keys
FLASH
The FLASH key serves several purposes:
• Getting a fresh dial tone without replacing the handset — When connected to an outside line, press
FLASH to automatically disconnect and receive fresh outside dial tone. (See also “RELEASE,” below.)
• Sending a flash hook signal — If operating behind Centrex
1
or a PBX, press FLASH to transmit a
flash hook signal automatically to either the phone company’s central office or the host PBX. Either
may use this signal to provide you with additional features.
• Toggling between calls — If you hear a call waiting tone while on a call, press FLASH to toggle
between the two calls.
REDIAL
The REDIAL key allows you to automatically call a stored name and number as shown below:
To ... Press REDIAL ...
Redial the last number called
When your station is idle
. . . or . . .
After first lifting the handset or pressing SPEAKER
Automatically respond to a message
During message playback with Caller ID
RELEASE
The RELEASE key serves several purposes:
• If pressed when connected to a call through the handset, it disconnects the call and gives you
internal dial tone.
• If pressed when you’re connected to a call via the speakerphone, it disconnects the call.
• If pressed during call waiting, it drops the current call and automatically connects to the waiting call.
Note: The hookswitch also acts as a combination FLASH/RELEASE key (and is the only way to perform
these functions on a 12-Key Feature Phone, which has neither a FLASH key nor a RELEASE key).
To send a flash hook signal, quickly press the hookswitch once.
To release (disconnect), hold down the hookswitch for one second.
