• Hang up, and then pick up the telephone again to get a dial tone.
• Resend the FAX or modem transmission.

reminds you and tunes the receiver to the channel of the program.
A VCR Event Timer reminds you, tunes the receiver, and starts
the VCR.

same channel at the same time. A Daily event timer does the
same, Monday through Sunday. A Weekly event timer operates
once a week on the same channel at the same time.
