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 use the arrow 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

1.Make sure the phone is ON.

2.Press MEMORY and then press 7.

3.When you hear the access tone, press MEMORY and then press 8.

4.At the next access tone, press MEMORY and then 9.

TIP: Wait for the access tones before pressing the next memory button, or your call might not go through.

CONNECTING THE BELT CLIP

There are two slots, one on each side of the handset.

•Attach the belt clip by inserting the sides of the

belt clip into the slots.	Slot for	Slot for
