*If you experience problems when redialing a number on a PBX line, you may need to redial the number manually,
inserting a pause between the PBX access code and the number. The pause will let the PBX switch accommodate the
rapid dial output. An alternate solution is to program the PBX access number and a pause into a memory key. If you
press the memory key instead of pressing the PBX access code when you dial out, your redialed number will always
contain a programmed pause. For details on programming a pause, see "Saving a pause in memory," on the next page.
