OPERATION
Receiving a Phone Call

Before dialing, make sure the Tone/Pulse switch
is correctly positioned for your type of service.
Pick up the phone and wait for a dial tone. Press
the keys for the number you want. Your

pulses to simulate dialing action. Because of this
you might hear pulsing for a second or two after
the last button has been pressed.

Your CONAIRPHONETM remembers the last
number dialed. If the number you dial is busy or
not being answered, hang up. If you want to
redial the last number automatically, press the
REDIAL button.
NOTE: You can redial the same telephone
number as many times as required. However,
once you dial another number the previous
number is erased.
Ringer Off/Low/High
Your CONAIRPHONETM features a harmonic
ringer which can be adjusted to a loud (high) or
soft (low) sound level. When you don't want to be
disturbed, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.
You can still make outgoing calls without being
disturbed by incoming calls.
Timed Flash Function
The FLASH key can be used to retrieve a new
dial tone after ending a call.
NOTE: The FLASH key is also a useful feature for
special telephone services such as call waiting
and three party calling. Press briefly, release and
perform the custom call procedure.
