The memory locations in the handset are
not limited to phone numbers. You can also
store a group of numbers (up to 20 digits),
that you need to enter once your call
connects. This is referred to as Chain
Dialing.
An example of this is a bank account
number. Store the account or special
number in one of the phonebook locations.
(Refer to “Storing Phone Numbers, Names,
Distinctive Rings and Speed Dial” on page
33). When you call your bank, and you are
prompted to enter the account number,
scroll through your phonebook locations
until you find your account or special
number, and then press
SELECT/
.

You must subscribe to Caller ID services
through your local telephone provider to use
these features.
When the telephone rings, the Caller ID
feature allows you to view the caller’s name,
and phone number along with the date and
time of call. With CIDCW (Caller ID on Call
Waiting), you will hear a call waiting tone
while you are on a call, and the Caller ID
data is displayed. To accept the waiting call,
press
TALK/FLASH
(see page 32).
