Dialling Memory and Scratch Pad

Numbers stored in the dialling memory can be recalled in two ways.

a.Press RCL twice, or RCL followed by 0. ‘‘LAST DIAL’’ is displayed together with the number last called.

b.

is displayed, together with the number stored in

 

memory location 1 of the dial-

 

ling memory.

You can then scroll forward or backward through the memory locations of the dialling memory by pressing ▲ or

▼until you find the desired number.
