Storing a Number in Memory
Note: If you wait more than 20 sec-
onds between each key press, an error
tone sounds and the phone exits the
programming mode.
1. Lift the handset. If you hear a dial
tone, press TALK to turn it off.
2. Press MEMO . The BATT LOW
indicator blinks.
3. Enter the number and any TONE
and PAUSE entries (see “Using
Tone Services on a Pulse Line” on
Page 18 and “Entering a Pause”
on Page 19).
Note: Each TONE or PAUSE entry
uses one digit of memory.
4. Press MEMO , then enter the mem-
ory location number ( 0 - 9 ). A single
tone sounds to indicate that the
number is stored.
If five quick beeps sound, you
have made an entry error and the
number was not stored. Start
again from Step 2.
5. For each stored number, write the
person’s or company’s name next
to the appropriate location number
on the supplied MEMORY direc-
tory sticker. (Use a pencil in case
you want to change the number
later.) Attach the sticker to the
phone.
To erase a stored number, simply
store a new number in its place. Or,
skip Step 3, then press the memory lo-
cation number (
0 - 9 ) you want to clear.
A tone sounds.
Entering 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 enter a 2-second pause, press
PAUSE . For a longer pause, press
PAUSE additional times.
