2. Enter the number and any tone and
pause entries (see “Using Tone Ser-
vices on a Pulse Line” on Page 16
and “Entering a Pause”).
Note: Each tone or pause entry
uses one digit of memory.
3. Press MEM , then enter the memory
location number (01–20). The
phone pauses to confirm that each
digit was stored, then it beeps to
indicate that the number is stored.
Note: If three quick beeps sound,
you have made an error and the
number was not stored. Start again
from Step 1.
To replace a stored number, simply
store a new number in its place.
Or, to clear a memory location, skip
Step 2, then enter the memory location
number (01–20) 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 3-second pause, press REDI-
AL after entering the access code. For a
longer pause, press REDIAL again.
Dialing a Memory Number
To dial a number stored in memory, lift
the handset and press the button for the
line you want to use.
When you hear a dial tone, press MEM
and enter the memory location number
for the number you want to dial.
Chain-Dialing Service Numbers
When calling special services (such as
alternate long distance or bank-by-
phone), 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 addition-
al information is stored.
Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire depart-
ment, ambulance) and you choose to
test the stored number, make the test
call during the late evening or early
morning hours to avoid peak demand
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-
plain the reason for your call.
