Note: If you select an empty memory lo- cation, no number appears.

To dial a number stored in one-touch dial memory, simply press the button (M1-M4). You do not need to press SPEAKER to dial the number in one- touch dial memory.

Note: If you select an empty one-touch dial memory, the base beeps five error beeps.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

For quick recall of numbers for special services (such as bank by phone), store each group of numbers in its own mem- ory location. Dial the service's main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM (or MEMO- RY on the base) and enter the number for the location where the additional in- formation is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service's number (police department, fire depart- ment, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak demand periods. Also, remain on the line to ex- plain the reason for your call.

CALLER ID OPERATION

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the phone compa- ny sends information about the call, as well as the time and date, between the first and second rings of every call you receive. This information appears after the second ring on both the handset's and the base's displays. The display also shows if caller information is un- available or if the name and number were blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID Messages” on Page 21).

If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, you will hear a tone through the handset when a call comes in, then the Caller ID record appears. If you want to answer the incoming call, press FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.

The handset has Caller ID memory to store the information received up to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It stores the information even when you answer the call using the speakerphone.

If the Caller ID memory becomes full, any new call replaces the oldest call's record.

The base's NEW CALL indicator also flashes when the phone receives a call with Caller ID information and you have not yet reviewed it. Use the handset's Caller ID memory to review the informa- tion about the call(s) received.
