Auto-redial 
Use this feature to automatically redial a number up to 
ten times. When the phone automatically redials the 
number, if the prime line is available, the phone uses the 
prime line to dial the call.
1.  Follow the instructions under Redial stack (page 17) to 
find the number you want to call.
2.  Press a 
[LINE] button. 
   -OR- 
Press [ENTER]. Scroll to AUTO REDIAL and then press 
[ENTER] again.
3.  The telephone activates the speakerphone or headset 
(depending on the AUTOMATIC MODE you set, page 
39 of the installation guide) and automatically calls the 
desired number. The [(AUTO) REDIAL] light flashes.
4.  When the other party answers, you will need to take 
an action to speak with the other party and stop the 
auto-redial attempts. Lift the handset. 
   -OR- 
Press [  SPEAKER]. 
   -OR- 
Press [HEADSET] if the headset is connected to speak 
with the other party.
While auto-redial is active:
•  The telephone activates the speakerphone or headset 
(depending on the AUTOMATIC MODE you set, page 
39 of the installation guide) and automatically calls the 
desired number. The [(AUTO) REDIAL] light flashes.
•  After a call is placed, if the line is busy, you will hear 
a busy tone for approximately nine seconds before 
the set hangs up. Thirty seconds later, the call will be 
redialed. The [(AUTO) REDIAL] light remains on during 
that 30-second waiting time.
•  This process repeats up to 10 times or until the called 
number is no longer busy. If the line is still busy after 
10 attempts, no more attempts are made.
•  If the line is ringing but no party answers after two 
attempts, no more attempts are made.
•  If you want to turn off the auto-redial feature during 
the 30-second waiting time, press [(AUTO) REDIAL].
 NOTES: 
• 
While reviewing the 
numbers in the redial 
stack, if you want to 
place a new call other 
than the displayed 
number, you need to 
press [(AUTO) REDIAL] 
to exit the redial list.
• 
If the prime line is in use, 
the phone automatically 
selects another idle line 
to dial the call. Once the 
auto-redial is active, the 
phone always uses the 
line you originally used 
to dial the call.
• 
Once the other person 
answers, you must lift 
the handset, or press  
[  SPEAKER] or 
[HEADSET] if you want 
to stay on the call, 
otherwise, the line hangs 
up and redials again.
