If the telephone is connected to a private branch exchange, functions such as transferring calls and automatic call back can be used via the R button. Please refer to the operating manual supplied with your private branch exchange to determine, whether the telephone will work properly with the exchange.

When using some older private branch exchanges, it takes a little time before the dialling tone becomes audible. Particularly in the case of such private branch exchanges, it is possible to insert a dialling pause after the number for the outside line so that the number can be dialled in a continuous process without having to wait for the dialling tone.

Insert a dialling pause

After dialling the number for the outside line, the telephone then waits approx. 3 seconds before dialling the actual phone number.

The pause can also be entered with the phone number in the phone book.
