The Pause Button

To support memory dialling combinations that require a pause, the Elegance 99 will
allow you to insert a pause by pressing the redial key in your dialling sequence.

Note: For the convenience of supporting the growth in touch tone services (ie Banking by phone), your

Elegance 99 has been designed with the following functionality.
When you insert a pause in the memory dialling, the placement of the pause is very important.
If the pause is one of the first 5 digits, the number will be dial out with about 2 seconds delay
where the pause has been set in the sequence.
When you recall the memory, e.g. 1234 pause 56789 will be dialled out all at the same time.
If the pause is set after the fifth digit, then you must press the pause button again to send the rest
of the number being dialled.
e.g. 12345 pause ... waiting ... (until you press the REDIAL/PAUSE button 

 ) then 6789 or the

rest of the dialling sequence will be dialled out.
The reasons why we have provided two different pause methods is to support basic usage such
as office PABX exchanges where typically one or two digits will access an outside line, etc.
Alternatively, to support the growing future of touch tone services, we have developed the
advanced functionality to pause for an indefinite period of time.  This will allow the user the time
necessary to perform any tasks required while accessing touch tone services.

Mixed Mode Dialling

If your telephone is set to or using the Pulse mode, pressing the ( * ) button will send the
next digit to Tone mode.  Tone Mode makes it possible to access public services such as
telephone banking.  After hanging up, the dialling mode will return to the original setting.

To dial numbers stored in M1 ... M3, simply press the
M1 ... M3 button where you stored the number.

Memory Dialling

The Last number redial Feature

The Last Number Redial key 

 will share the same button with Pause.  (See Fig 1, 

5

 )

The Last Number Redial will be stored automatically, and can be redialled by pressing
the redial key.

Note: *A maximum of 31 digits can be dialed out when using the redial feature.

The Flash Button

These buttons can be used for special public or private exchange facilities (PABX).
Please consult your local network operator for further details concerning the network
services provided in your area.

To retain
thenumber
in that
memory
location

Note: * Insert a pause wherever necessary by pressing the Redial/Pause button.  A

pause lasts for approximately 2 seconds. If you need a longer pause, press the
pause key as many times as necessary. The pause duration will accumulate
according to the number of times the Pause key is pressed.
* A maximum of 21 digits including pauses are available for stored memory.
* All numbers retained in the stored memory will be lost if the telephone is

disconnected.

Storing a number in the indirect memory

You can store numbers consisting of up to 21 digits in the indirect memory.  Your
