4.Press MEM, then enter the memory location number (09). A long beep confirms that the number is stored.

Note: If the phone sounds five quick beeps, you have made an entry error, and the number was not stored. Start again from Step 2.

To replace a stored number, simply store a new number in its place.

To erase a stored number, press MEM twice, then press the number for the memory location (09) you want to clear. A long beep sounds.

Note: You cannot store a number at the base while the handset is in use.

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 2-second pause, press PAUSE on the handset or base. You can add more pause entries for a longer pause.

Dialing a Memory Number

To dial a number stored in the handset’s memory, lift the handset and press either line button. When you hear a dial tone, press MEM and enter the memory loca- tion number for the number you want to dial.

To dial a number stored in the base’s memory, press either line button. When you hear a dial tone, press MEM and en- ter the memory location number for the number you want to dial.

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 and the number for the location where the additional information 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.
