6-7. Chain Dialing
If you often have to enter a series of digits or some type of code number during a call, you can save that code number to a phonebook entry. When your call connects, just use the phonebook speed dial to transmit the saved code number. (This is referred to as chain dialing.)
1)Enter the code number (up to twenty digits) into the phonebook (See section
2)During a call, when you hear the prompt that tells you to enter the code number, press [
/memory] to open the phonebook.
3)Find the phonebook entry number you want to use (See section
4)Press [select/channel]. The phone sends the digits of the code number exactly as you saved them in the phonebook entry.

Here are some general tips on using your answering system menu:
•To open the answering system menu, press [menu/clock] on the base.
•The voice prompt announces each menu item. Press [menu/clock] to go to the next item. If you are already at the last menu item, the base beeps and returns to standby.
•When you hear the menu item you want, use [vol/select/
] and [vol/select/

•If you wait longer than five seconds before pressing a key, the system returns to standby. When you’re setting the time, you have two minutes before the system exits the menu.

7-2. Setting Your Outgoing Message (Greeting)
The answering system comes with two prerecorded outgoing messages, or greetings. The default greeting says: "Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone."
If you change the answering system to announce only (so it won’t record any messages), the greeting changes to:
"Hello. No one is available to take your call. Please call again."
Recording your own greeting
When you record your own greeting, the answering system does not delete the two prerecorded greetings: it saves your greeting along with them.
1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [greeting]. The base beeps and announces “Record greeting.”
2)Start recording your message. Your greeting must be at least two seconds but no more than thirty seconds. The message counter display counts down from thirty so you know how many seconds you have left.
3)When you are finished recording, press [greeting], [
] or [set]. The base sounds a confirmation tone, plays your greeting back for you.
Selecting a greeting
You can switch between the prerecorded greeting and your personal greeting any time:
1)With the phone in standby, press [greeting] to hear the
2)While the greeting is playing, press [greeting] again to switch to the other greeting. After the greeting finishes playing, the base sounds a confirmation tone.
