tween the two calls by pressing YES. DO NOT press NO/ON/OFF until you are
ready to end both calls.
Unanswered Calls
If your phone receives calls which you do not answer, the phone shows an
unanswered call counter in the display. The counter shows the total number
of calls which you have not answered. You can clear the counter from the
display by pressing any key or by turning the phone OFF.
Redialing the Last Number You Called
Your telephone stores the last five numbers you called. To view these
numbers in the display, press RCL/ /\ twice. The last number you called is
shown in the display. Press RCL/ /\ or MENU/ \/ to scroll through the other
four numbers. You can place a call to a number shown in the display by
pressing YES. You can also view the last five numbers you called by using
the Memory Menu, see Faxback Doc. # 35279.
Super Dial
The Super Dial feature (when enabled through the call Setup menu, see Fax-
back Doc. # 35279) gives you "one touch" dialing for phone numbers stored
in memory locations 1 through 9. See Faxback Doc. # 35276 for information
on storing numbers in memory. To use the Super Dial feature, press and hold
the numeric key (1-9) which corresponds with the memory location containing
the number you want to call. For example, if you want to call the number
stored in memory location seven, press and hold 7.
Speed Dial
The Speed Dial feature (when enabled through the Call Setup menu, see Fax-
back Doc. # 35279) lets you quickly dial phone numbers stored in memory
locations 1 through 99 (1 through 50 on the DH 318) See Faxback Doc. #35276
for information on storing numbers in memory. To use the Speed Dial feature,
enter the number of the memory location containing the number you want to
call, then press YES. For example, if you want to call the number stored in
memory location 12, press 1, then press 2, then press YES.
Stop and Pause Dialing
Stop and pause dialing lets you enter a group of numbers with stops and/or
pauses between groups. This feature is useful when you need to dial a phone
number and then another number, such as an access number for an answering
machine or voice mail system.
A stop causes the phone to stop transmitting DTMF tones. The phone transmits
the next series of tones after you press and hold YES. You can enter a stop
in a series of digits by pressing and holding # until the character turns
into the letter S in the display.
A pause suspends transmitting DTMF tones for approximately two seconds be-
fore sending the next series of tones. You can enter a pause in a series of
digits by pressing and holding * until the character turns into a letter P
in the display.
For example, if your office has a voice mail system that requires you to
dial a phone number, followed by your extension, followed by an access code,
you could enter the following: 555-1111S2222S3333 where 555-1111 is the
phone number to enter your voice mail system. S is a stop 2222 is your ex-
tension. S is a second stop. 33333 is your access code.
When you press YES, your phone dials the number and then stops transmitting
tones. When your voice mail system asks for your extension you would press
and hold YES to transmit your extension. When the system asks for your
access code you would press and hold YES again to transmit the code. If the
timing in your voice mail system allows, you could enter a pause instead of
the second stop. This would cause your phone to automatically transmit your
access code approximately two seconds after your extension.
You can also store groups of numbers, such as the above example in a memory
location. You can then dial the numbers by entering the memory location and
pressing and holding YES.
Emergency Calls
Your phone was programmed with an Emergency number (911) when it was manu-
factured. The programmed emergency number can be dialed and called at any
time, regardless of any call restrictions you have set through the Locks
menu. A representative from your cellular system or the retail outlet where
you purchased your phone should be able to change the emergency number in
your phone.
International Calls
If allowed by your cellular system, you can place international calls with
your phone just as you would from any other phone. If you have difficulty
completing international calls, check with your cellular system operator
for information.
Caller Number Identification
If your cellular system provides Caller ID service, your phone shows the
phone number of an incoming call in the display, if the number is supplied
by the person placing the call. Also, if the number is one which you have
stored with a name in memory, the name is also shown in the display when
your phone rings. If the Caller ID information is not available from the
calling system, the words NO ID are shown in the display.
Low Battery Power Alert
The low battery alert sounds when your battery is reaching its lowest opera-
tional power level. The words Low Battery flash in the display and the
indicator light on top of your phone flashes red. When this happens, leave
your phone turned ON. The phone discharges the battery and then shuts itself
OFF. You should charge the battery within 24 hours so that the battery can
charge to full capacity.
