Entering Numbers

Both local and long distance numbers may be

entered as desired. The minimum length of each
phone number is seven digits and the maximum is
eleven digits (long distance digit, area code and
phone number); an entry can hold up to 16 digits
total. If you fill the dialing file with numbers, the
system will beep, save the numbers and return you
to the

100,000 phone numbers.

If you just enter a seven digit number, the

system will add the default area code and long
distance digit to complete the number; but, during
dialing, these will be automatically removed.
