Comdial officially was incorporated in 1977. In 1997, Comdial was the second largest manufacturer of telecommunication devices for businesses, second only to AT&T. Comdial phones are equipped with many features, such as multiple phone line selection, last phone number redial, placing calls on hold, breaking through in-office busy signals and viewing the total cost of the current or last phone call placed.
Instructions
1. Press the red flashing line selection button to accept an incoming call. Talk into the unit's speakerphone or handset. Check the LCD screen to view the Caller ID information for the incoming call if the Comdial phone is equipped with this feature.
2. Press one of the multiple line buttons on the telephone's keypad to select a line, then listen for a dial tone. Use the keypad to dial a phone number to make a call.
