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. If your phone is connected to one of these systems, you might want to enter a pause at the appropriate point when you store a phone number in memory.

At the appropriate place in the number, press REDIAL to enter a 2-second pause. For a longer pause, press RE- DIAL again.

Dialing a Stored Number

Follow these steps to dial a number stored in memory.

1.Lift the handset from the base and press TALK so its light turns on.

2.When you hear a dial tone, press MEMORY and then press the cor- rect memory location number. The phone dials the stored number.

Storing/Chain Dialing Service Numbers

When storing numbers for special ser- vices (such as alternate long distance or bank-by-phone), store the service’s main phone number in one memory lo- cation and numbers for additional in- formation in others.

Note: If you initially use pulse dialing to dial the service, be sure you have stored a tone entry (*) in the next memory location before the numbers for the additional information.

To chain dial memory numbers, follow these steps.

1.With the handset’s power on and the TALK light on, press MEMORY and the memory-location number for the service’s main number.

2.Wait for the service to answer.

3.Press MEMORY and the memory location numbers for the addi- tional information.

4.To disconnect the call, press TALK so its light turns off, or simply replace the handset on the base.

Testing Stored

Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service’s number (police department, fire de- partment, ambulance) and you want to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning to avoid peak demand peri- ods. Remain on the line to explain the reason for your call.
