Storing a Pause
In some telephone systems, you must
dial an access code (
9 , for example) and
wait for a second dial tone before you
can dial an outside number. You can
store the access code with the phone
number. However, you should also store
a pause after the access code to allow
the outside line time to connect.
To add one or more 2-second pauses to
a phone number you are storing in
memory, press
REDIAL at each point
where a pause is needed.
Note: Each pause entry counts as one
digit in memory.
Dialing a Stored Number
To dial a stored number, when you hear
the dial tone, press
MEM then the de-
sired memory location number ( 01 – 20 ).
Chain Dialing Service Numbers
You can make a call using more than
one of the ET-928’s memory locations.
This is called chain dialing. Chain dialing
is useful for dialing special services such
as alternate long distance or bank-by-
phone.
When calling special services, dial the
service’s main number first. Then, at the
appropriate place in the call, press
MEM
and the number for the memory location
where the additional information is
stored.
Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire depart-
ment, ambulance) and you want to test
the stored number, make the test call
during the late evening or early morning
hours to avoid peak demand periods. Al-
so, remain on the line to explain the rea-
son for your call.
USING THE INTERCOM
You can use the ET-928 as a two-way
pager and intercom between the base
and the handset. This is useful if the
handset is away from the base and you
want to locate it, or if you want to have a
conversation between someone with the
handset and someone at the base.
Notes:
• If the handset is in use when it
receives a page, the handset beeps
twice every 4 seconds.
• If a call comes in during an intercom
conversation, either of the intercom
parties can answer the call, but the
intercom call is disconnected.
