Storing Special Numbers in the Phone Book
Using the Pause Feature
Generally, when you call an automated system like voicemail boxes
or credit card companies, you are required to enter a password or
calling card number. Rather than entering the numbers manually
each time, you can store the numbers in your Internal Phone Book,
separated by special characters called “pauses”.
Using Two Different Types of Pauses
There are two different types of pauses that you can use when
storing a number in your Internal Phone Book.
Hard Pause

waits two seconds before sending the next string
of digits.

1.
Enter the number you want to dial.
2.
Press

4.

5.
Finish entering the rest of the numbers, then dial or save the
entered number. See page 24 for saving.
Using Hyphens
You can add hyphens to your Internal Phone Book numbers,
however they are mainly for show. You can insert hyphens
manually where you like, or choose automatic hyphenation,
which inserts hyphens according to the North American
Numbering Plan. Entering a manual hyphen suspends any
automatic hyphenation for that number.

Secret Internal Phone Book Entries
You can hide an entry’s phone number(s) by making them
secret, which requires your lock code to edit the entry. The
entry name is still displayed, but the entry’s phone numbers are
replaced by “(Secret)”.
To make an entry secret:
1.
Press
of the Navigation key.

Scroll to the Internal Phone Book entry you want to tag
Secret.

Enter the 4-digit lock code.

Tip:
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of
either your Social Security number or PCS Phone Number, or
try 0000. If none of these work, call PCS Customer Service Solutions
