5-C How to use the PAUSE Button
(For Analog PBX Line/Long Distance Service Users)
We recommend you press (PAUSE) if a pause is required for dialling with a PBX or to access a long
distance service.
Ex: Line access number (9) (PBX)
(9) (PAUSE)
≥Pressing (PAUSE) once creates a 3.5 second pause. This prevents misdialling when you redial or
dial a stored number.
≥Pressing (PAUSE) more than once increases the length of the pause between numbers.
5-D RECALL Button
Pressing (RECALL) allows you to use special features of your host PBX such as transferring an
extension call or accessing a special telephone services (optional), such as call waiting.
Selecting the recall time
The recall time depends on your telephone exchange or host PBX. You can select the following recall
times: “90, 100, 110, 250, 300, 400, 600 or 700 msec (milliseconds)”. KX-TC1200AL comes from the
factory set to “100 msec” and KX-TC1200NZ comes set to “600 msec”.
The TALK indicator light must be off before programming.
Press (PROGRAM) (AUTO) (RECALL).
≥A beep sounds.
≥If 3 beeps sound after programming, a wrong key was pressed. Start again from the beginning.
≥Users in Australia can access Telstra’s “EASY CALL” service by having the recall time set at 100
msec (this is the factory default setting), and then follow Telstra’s “EASY CALL” instructions to
operate this service.
≥If you are connected via a PBX, a longer or shorter recall time may be necessary to use PBX
functions (transferring a call etc.). Consult your PBX supplier for the correct setting.
≥When you receive a second call during a conversation, you will hear a signal tone following the call
waiting tone and the conversation will be interrupted for approximately a second. The tones are
generated from the telephone company. This is not fault of the product as these events are normal.
