Chain Dialing

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 special number in the Phonebook
location (refer to “Storing Phone Numbers, Names, Distinctive Rings and Speed Dial” on
page 22). Once you have called your bank, and when you are prompted to enter the
account number, just as you do when viewing the phonebook location, view the special
number, then press 

select/ch

.

Memory Dialing (base only)

You can store 10 phone numbers in the base, and make calls with memory dialing from the base.

memory

2) Enter the number you wish to store. (The number cannot exceed 20 digits.)
3) Press

) on the keypad. 

You will hear a confirmation tone.

(Talk) in the standby mode.

2) Press 

memory

. Enter the memory location number (

tone.

• The 10 memory locations in the base are independent from the handset.
• The pause key counts as one digit. Pressing 

redial/p

more than once increases the length of

pause between numbers.

• If you have not pressed

any key for 30 seconds,
the phone returns to the
standby mode.

• If you get an incoming

call, the operation 
is canceled.

• If you select a memory

location that does not
have a stored number,
the base will beep
rapidly and the phone
will not dial.
