2.Enter the number and any tone and pause entries (see “Using Tone Ser- vices on a Pulse Line” on Page 16 and “Entering a Pause”).

Note: Each tone or pause entry uses one digit of memory.

3.Press MEM, then enter the memory location number (01–20). The phone pauses to confirm that each digit was stored, then it beeps to indicate that the number is stored.

Note: If three quick beeps sound, you have made an error and the number was not stored. Start again from Step 1.

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

Or, to clear a memory location, skip Step 2, then enter the memory location number (01–20) you want to clear. A tone sounds.

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 3-second pause, press REDI- AL after entering the access code. For a longer pause, press REDIAL again.

Dialing a Memory Number

To dial a number stored in memory, lift the handset and press the button for the line you want to use.

When you hear a dial tone, press MEM and enter the memory location number for the number you want to dial.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

When calling special services (such as alternate long distance or bank-by- phone), dial the service’s main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM and the number for the memory location where the addition- al 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.
