the batteries before the memories stored are lost. Please read the 

instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries 

ready to be inserted beforehand.
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use 

the telephone for more than 30 days, 

remove the batteries because they may 

leak and damage the unit.

Cascade Dialing

This process allows you to dial a succession of stored numbers from 

separate memory locations. This is useful when you must dial several 

sequences of numbers, such as with frequent calls via a telephone 

company long distance provider.

For example 

Memory location

Local access number of long distance company   

6

Authorization code (ID) 

 

7

Long distance phone number 

 

8

DIAL

 button, then press number “6” for the memory location.

3. Press 

DIAL

 button, then press number “7” for the memory location.

4. Press 

DIAL

 button, then press number “8” for the memory location.

5. The number dials automatically.

Storing a Pause in Memory

The REDIAL/pause button has dual functionality and becomes a pause 

button when pressed in sequence after the STORE button. It is valid only 

when storing a number into memory locations. Use the REDIAL/pause 

button to insert a pause when a delay is needed in an automatic dialing 

sequence. For example, when you must dial a 9 to get an outside line or 

when you enter codes to access your long distance company. 

NOTE: A pause is 3 seconds in length and you can store more than 

one, if a longer pause is needed.

Pre-Dialing

1.  With the handset on the cradle, enter the telephone number you wish 

to call. The telephone number shows in the display.

2.  Lift the handset or press the 

SPEAKER

 button and the number 

automatically dials.

NOTE: Use the DELETE button to delete an incorrectly entered 

number. 

Troubleshooting Tips

No Dial Tone

•  Check all cabling to make sure that all connections are secure and not 

damaged.

•  Check hook switch: Does it fully extend when handset is lifted from 

cradle?

No Information is Shown After the Phone Rings

•  Are you subscribed to Caller ID service from your local telephone 

company?

•  Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering.

Phone Dials in Pulse with Tone Service

• 

Make sure T/P  MODE is set to TONE DIAL.

Phone Won’t Dial Out with Pulse Service

• 

Make sure T/P  MODE is set to PULSE DIAL.

Phone Does Not Ring

•  Make sure ringer switch is ON.
•  You may have too many extension phones on your line. Try unplugging 

some extension phones.

•  Check for dial tone. See Troubleshooting Tips for No Dial Tone.

Incoming Voice Volume Low

•  Are other phones off hook at same time? If so, this is normal condition 

as volume drops when additional phones are used at once.

•  Check the handset receiver or speaker volume.

Memory Dialing

•   Make sure you entered the numbers correctly into memory.

General Product Care

To keep your phone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:

•  Avoid putting it near heating appliances and devices that generate 

electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).

•  DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
•  Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the unit.
•  Clean with a soft cloth. 
•  Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this 

will damage the finish.

•  Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship it at a later date.
