Use the same procedure to change a stored number as you do to store a number—you’re just replacing the phone number with a different one.
DIALING A STORED NUMBER
1.Make sure the phone is ON by pressing the TALK button.
2.Press MEMORY.
3.Press the number (0-9) for the desired memory location. The number dials automatically.
OR
1.Make sure the phone is OFF.
2.Press MEMORY.
3.Use the arrow buttons (* and #) to scroll through the numbers stored in memory until the desired number is shown.
4.Press CALL BACK. The number dials automatically.
IMPORTANT: If you make test calls to emergency numbers stored in memory, remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call to the dispatcher. Also, it’s a good idea to make these calls in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
INSERTING A PAUSE IN THE DIALING SEQUENCE
Press the REDIAL button to insert a delay in the dialing sequence of a stored telephone number when a pause is needed to wait for a dial tone (for example after you dial 9 for an outside line, or to wait for a computer access tone). Each pause counts as 1 digit in the dialing sequence.
REVIEWING AND DELETING STORED NUMBERS
1.Press MEMORY, then press the arrow (* and #) keys to view the entry.
2.While the entry is displayed, press DELETE to delete the entry. The display shows ERASE MEMO?
3.Press DELETE a second time to delete the entry.
CHAIN DIALING FROM MEMORY
Use this feature to make calls which require a sequence of numbers such as using a calling card for a frequently called long distance number. Basically, you dial each part of the sequence from memory. The following example shows how you can use chain dialing to make a call through a long distance service:
The Number For | Memory Location |
Long distance access number | | 7 |
Authorization code | | 8 |
Frequently called long distance number | 9 |
• | Keep batteries out of the reach of |
| children. |
• | Remove batteries if storing over 30 |
| days. |
CHANGING THE
BATTERY
Make sure the telephone is OFF before you replace battery.
1.Remove the battery compartment door.
2. Disconnect the cord attached to the battery pack and remove the battery pack from the handset.
3.Insert the new battery pack and connect the cord into the jack inside the handset.
4.Put the battery compartment door back on.
5.Place handset in the base to charge. If you don’t charge the handset battery properly (for 12 hours) when you first set up the phone and/or when you install a new battery pack, the battery’s long-term performance will be compromised.

•DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
•Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough treatment to the phone.
•Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
•Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.
•Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.
•Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and base with a clean pencil eraser.
CAUSES OF POOR RECEPTION
• | Aluminum siding |
• Foil backing on insulation |

INFORMATION
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.
REN NUMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
