Directory Cards
You will probably want to make a record of the numbers you’ve stored in memory. To write down the
phone numbers on the Directory Card on the base, first remove the plastic window covering the card. Insert
a pointed object (like a wire paperclip) into the hole in the window. Then, gently pry up the window until it
pops out. Follow the same steps to use the Directory Card in the Portable Handset Cradle.
You can also list the stored numbers on the adhesive label for your handset. The label is designed to fit the
space on the back of the handset or over the battery pack cover. If you use pencil or erasable pen, you’ll be
able to change the numbers later. Don’t put the label anywhere but on the light, cream-colored part of the
handset. Putting it anywhere on the dark gray part can interfere with proper phone operation.
Storing a Redial Number in Memory
If you want to store in the memory the last number dialed, press MEM, REDIAL, MEM, then any unused
number button (1to 9).
Storing 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 storing an outside number in memory, store 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.
To insert a pause in a stored number, press and hold down the number button that comes before the pause,
until you hear the second beep. This inserts a 2-second pause after that digit. To insert a longer pause, hold
the button down until you hear a third or fourth beep. Each time you hear another beep, the pause is 2
seconds longer.
NOTE: Each pause you store is counted as a digit. You can store up to 16 digits in each memory
location.
For example, to store 9, PAUSE, 555-1234:
Press 9 and hold it until you hear the second beep. The press 5551234.
Storing 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
200-555-1234 147-44-8559, you might divide it like this:
200-555-1234 –
1
147-44-8559 –
2
To store the first part of this sequence, press MEM, 2005551234 MEM 1.
To store the second part, press MEM 147448559 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 just by storing a new number in its place.
NOTE: The numbers stored in memory might be lost when you change the handset batteries, or if the
batteries run down completely.
