Temporary Tone Dialing - GE 29582 User Manual

Temporary Tone Dialing

If you have pulse service, you can temporarily change from pulse to tone service. After
dialing the telephone number, press and release the TONE (*) button on the telephone.
This allows access to phone services that require a tone, such as banking and long-
distance services. After you hang up the handset, the telephone automatically returns to
pulse service.
Flash
Press the FLASH/EXIT button to activate customer calling services such as call waiting or
call transfer, which are provided by your local phone company.
Redial
Redial the last number you called by pressing the REDIAL button after you get a dial tone.
NOTE: The Redial feature holds in memory the last phone number you
dialed (as many as 28 digits). If you pressed any numbers after dialing
the phone number, (for example, when accessing a
voice-menu system) those numbers also are redialed.
IMPORTANT: In the event of a power outage, your phone will still
be able to make and receive calls, however, the speakerphone and
answerer will not be operational.
