out having to hold the handset to your ear.

lection number), which is automatically
placed in front of numbers when you dial
them.
In the With Preselection list, specify the
access codes or the first digits of the access
codes that you wish to assign to the prese-
lection number.
In the Without Preselection list, enter the
exceptions to the With Preselection list.
Example:
All numbers that start with 08, except for 081
and 084, are dialled with the preselection
number 0999.

Inform your caller before you use the
handsfree function so that the caller
knows a third party may be listening.
