AT&T 5635 - Manual (Page 7)

To use the directory card concealed in the back of your handset, press the arrow and slide the door toward
the top of the handset until it snaps in place. The directory card has an erasable surface. If you write in
pencil, you’ll find it easy to change names when necessary.
NOTE: If the door slips off the handset, slide it onto the track and back in place.
Storing a Redial Number in Memory
If you want to store the last number dialed into memory, press MEM, REDIAL, MEM, then any unused
number button (0 to 9).
Programming a Pause in a Memory Dial Phone Number
If your phone is connected to a switchboard, you may have to dial a special number (usually “9”) to get an
outside line. When programming an outside number in memory, program the access number and a pause
into the dialing sequence. The pause will allow the switchboard enough time to give you an outside line
dial tone.
NOTE: Each pause you store is counted as a digit. You can store up to 16 digits in each memory
location.
To insert a pause in a phone number, press REDIAL at the appropriate point when storing the number.
This inserts a 1.5 second pause. To insert a longer pause, press REDIAL two or more times. Each press
makes the pause 1.5 seconds longer; each pause takes up one space of the 16 number capacity.
For example, to store 9-PAUSE-555-1234 in memory location 6, you would:
1. Press MEM.
2. Press 9.
3. Press REDIAL.
4. Dial 555-1234.
5. Press MEM.
6. Press 6.
Programming and Dialing Long Numbers or Sequences
If you need to store a number longer than 16 digits – for your alternate long distance service or for
telephone banking, for example – divide the number between two different memory locations. Assign the
first part of the number to one memory location, and assign the second part to another.
For example, to store
301-999-8765 555-1234-56789, you
might divide it like this:
301-999-8765 – 1
555-1234-56789 – 2
To store the first part of this sequence, press MEM, 3 0 1 9 9 9 8 7 6 5 MEM 1. To store the second part
of this sequence, press MEM, 5 5 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 MEM 2.
To dial the complete number, press PHONE MEM 1 (wait for dialing to stop), MEM 2.
It is best to split the number at pauses or convenient breaks in the sequence, especially if you need to wait
for necessary tones or signals before continuing.
Changing or Replacing a Stored Number
You can change or replace a stored number by storing a new number in its place.
