Entering a Pause
in a Memory Number
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. If your
phone is connected to one of these
systems, you might want to enter a
pause at the appropriate point when
you store a phone number in memory.
At the appropriate place in the number,
press
REDIAL to enter a 2-second
pause. For a longer pause, press RE-
DIAL again.
Dialing a Stored Number
Follow these steps to dial a number
stored in memory.
1. Lift the handset from the base and
press TALK so its light turns on.
2. When you hear a dial tone, press
MEMORY and then press the cor-
rect memory location number. The
phone dials the stored number.
Storing/Chain Dialing Service
Numbers
When storing numbers for special ser-
vices (such as alternate long distance
or bank-by-phone), store the service’s
main phone number in one memory lo-
cation and numbers for additional in-
formation in others.
Note: If you initially use pulse dialing to
dial the service, be sure you have
stored a tone entry (
* ) in the next
memory location before the numbers
for the additional information.
To chain dial memory numbers, follow
these steps.
1. With the handset’s power on and
the TALK light on, press MEMORY
and the memory-location number
for the service’s main number.
2. Wait for the service to answer.
3. Press MEMORY and the memory
location numbers for the addi-
tional information.
4. To disconnect the call, press TALK
so its light turns off, or simply
replace the handset on the base.
Testing Stored
Emergency Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire de-
partment, ambulance) and you want to
test the stored number, make the test
call during the late evening or early
morning to avoid peak demand peri-
ods. Remain on the line to explain the
reason for your call.
