Note: Each tone or pause entry
uses one digit of memory.

4. Press 

MEM

 again, then enter the

memory location number (

0

9

)

where you want to store the number.
A tone sounds to indicate that the
number is stored.

Note: If the phone sounds five quick
beeps, you have made an entry error,
and the number was not stored. Start
again.

To replace a stored number, store a new
number in its place. To erase a number
from a memory location, press 

MEM

twice. Then press the memory location
number (

0

9

) you want to clear. A tone

sounds.

Entering a Pause

In some telephone systems, you must
dial an access code (9, for example) and
wait for a second dial tone before you
can dial an outside number. You can
store the access code with the phone
number. However, you should also store
a pause after the access code to allow
the outside line time to connect.

To enter a 2-second pause, press 

REDI-

AL/PAUSE

  (

REDIAL

 on the handset).

Press 

REDIAL/PAUSE

 or 

REDIAL

 repeat-

edly for a longer pause.

Dialing a Memory Number

To dial a number stored in the handset’s
memory, lift the handset from the base

and press either line button. When you
hear a dial tone, press 

MEM

 and enter

the memory location number for the
number you want to dial.

To dial a number stored in the base’s
memory, press either line button. When
you hear a dial tone, press 

MEM

 and en-

ter the memory location number for the
number you want to dial.

Note: If you select an empty memory lo-
cation, the base beeps 5 times.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

For quick recall of numbers for special
services (such as alternate long dis-
tance or bank by phone), store each
group of numbers in its own memory lo-
cation.

To use the stored special service num-
bers, dial the service’s main number
first. Then, at the appropriate place in
the call, press 

MEM

 and the number for

the memory location where the addition-
al information is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency 
Numbers

If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire depart-
ment, ambulance) and you choose to
test the stored number, make the test
call during the late evening or early
morning hours to avoid peak demand
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-
plain the reason for your call.
