5.For each stored number, write the person’s or company’s name next to the appropriate location number on the supplied memory directory sticker. (Use a pencil in case you want to change the number later.) Then attach the sticker to the phone.

To replace a stored number, simply store a new number in its place. Or, just skip Step 3.

Dialing a Memory Number

To dial a number stored in memory, lift the handset from the cradle or press TALK. When you hear a dial tone, press MEM and enter the memory location number for the number you want to dial.

Note: If you select an empty memory lo- cation, the phone beeps 5 times. Try again.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

For quick recall of numbers for special services (such as alternate long distance or bank by phone), store each group of numbers (such as codes or account numbers) in its own memory location.

To use the stored special service infor- mation, dial the service’s main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM and the number for the location where the additional information is stored.

Entering a Pause

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. You can store the access code with the phone number. However, you should also store a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to connect.

To enter a pause, press PAUSE. Each press enters a 2-second pause. For a longer pause, press PAUSE additional times.

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 pe- riods. Also, remain on the line to explain the reason for your call.
