the last number dialed. If the number you dial
is busy or not being answered, hang up. If you

redial the same telephone number as many
times as required. However, once you dial
another number, the previous number is

harmonic dual tone ringer which can be
adjusted to a loud (High) or soft (Low) sound
level. When you don’t want to be disturbed,

The FLASH key can be used to retrieve a new
dial tone after ending a call. The FLASH button
is also a useful feature for special telephone

NOTE: Because a computer modem and a fax
