left hand key), then press the number 

“1” key

number and the

to you entering the digits of the first number. After storing each number and pressing the 

“#” key

 

you will hear 2 audible beeps from the phone. This indicates that the storing of your phone number 
has been successful. It is important not to rush this procedure but take deliberate and careful note as

(To change the numbers at any time just overwrite using the same procedure.)

NOTE: Numbers will remain stored even in the event of losing power.
