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 while stor-
ing a phone number, press
REDIAL/P
.
For a longer pause, press
REDIAL/P
additional times.
Dialing a Stored Number
To dial a stored number, lift the hand-
set from the base or press
TALK
. When
you hear a dial tone, press
MEM
and
enter the memory location number for
the number you want to dial.
Chain-Dialing Service
Numbers
When calling special services (such as
alternate long distance or bank-by-
phone), dial the service’s main number
first. Then, at the appropriate place in
the call, press
MEM
and the number for
the location where the additional infor-
mation is stored.
Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire de-
partment, 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.
