Phonebook
Shared phonebook directory
The phonebook directory is stored in the base, and is
shared by both handsets. Changes made at either hand-
set will be reflected in both.
Only one handset at a time can use the phonebook. If a
second handset attempts to use the phonebook, the
screen will display “Not available at this time.”
The phonebook can store up to 50 entries. Each entry
can contain a number up to 32 digits, and a name up to
16 letters long. A convenient search feature can help
you find and dial numbers quickly (see page 17).
Timeouts and error messages
If you pause for too long while making an entry the pro-
cedure will time out and you will have to begin again.
If all memory locations are in use, the screen will
display “Phonebook is full.” You will not be able to
store a new number until you delete an existing one.
