4.To keep a record of each stored number, use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift the plastic cover from the tele- phone number index card. Write the name on the index card. For easy reference, you can use the shaded areas for lower memory numbers and the blank areas for upper mem- ory numbers. Use a pencil in case you want to change it later.

Chain-Dialing

For quick recall of numbers for special services (such as bank-by-phone or al- ternate long-distance), you can store each group of numbers in its own mem- ory location. Then, when calling special services, dial the service’s main number first. At the appropriate place in the call, press the memory location button for the additional numbers you want to send.

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. 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 do so, press REDIAL to enter a 2-second pause. P (pause) appears. For a longer pause, press REDIAL again.

Note: Each pause entry uses one digit of memory.

Dialing a Memory Number

To dial a number stored in an upper memory, press the desired memory lo- cation button.

To dial a number stored in a lower mem- ory, press LOWER then the desired memory location button.

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. Remain on the line to explain the reason for your call.
