Entering a Pause
in a Memory Number
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. If
your phone is connected to one of
these systems, you might want to en-
ter a pause after the access code
when you store a phone number in
memory.
At the appropriate place in the num-
ber, press
REDIAL/PAUSE to enter a 2-
second pause. For a longer pause,
press
REDIAL/PAUSE again.
Dialing a Stored Number
Follow these steps to dial a number
stored in memory.
1. Lift the handset and press TALK
so the TALK light turns on.
2. When you hear a dial tone, press
MEMORY and then press the cor-
rect memory location number. The
phone dials the stored number.
Storing/Chain Dialing Service
Numbers
When storing numbers for special ser-
vices (such as alternate long distance
or bank-by-phone), store the service’s
main phone number in one memory
location and numbers for additional in-
formation in others.
To chain dial memory numbers, follow
these steps.
1. With the TALK light on, press
MEMORY and the memory location
number for the service’s main
number.
2. Wait for the service to answer.
Note: If you use pulse dialing to
dial the service, be sure you have
stored a tone entry (
TONE/ ) in
the next memory location before
the numbers for the additional
information.
3. Press MEMORY and the memory
location numbers for the addi-
tional information.
4. To disconnect the call, press TALK
so the TALK light turns off, or sim-
ply replace the handset on the
base.
Testing Stored
Emergency Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire de-
partment, 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. Remain on the line to explain
the reason for your call.
