TELEPHONE MEMORY
You can store 20 telephone phone numbers and names. The telephone
memory works with the Caller ID features Memory Match and Priority
Ring. When you receive a call from a number you’ve stored in memory,
the screen displays the name information as you’ve stored it, not as the
service sends it (for example, “MOM AND DAD”). Additionally, the phone
alerts you to calls from priority numbers you’ve stored in memory with a
special Priority Ring.
NOTE: You may want to set the handset RINGER switch to OFF and
wait 15 seconds before storing numbers and names in memory. When
the handset RINGER switch is set to ON, you will be interrupted if the
handset starts to ring.
Memory Guard Feature
This telephone contains a special feature that protects information stored
in telephone memory when you change the handset battery or in the
event of a power failure.
Storing Numbers in Memory
1 Make sure the PHONE light is off.
2 Press U.
3 Select the following softkeys in sequence: NEXT, DIRECTORY, MEM, and
ADD.
4 Enter the number you want to store (up to 16 digits).
5 Select DONE.
6 Follow the directions in “Storing a Name with a Number”
— OR —
Select DONE if you don’t want to store a name.
7 Enter a two-digit memory location (01–20).
Storing a Pause in a Memory Number
While storing a memory number, use the softkey to select PAUSE where
you want to insert a 1.5-second pause.
If this phone is connected to a switchboard, you might have to dial an
access number (usually 9) to get an outside line. You can store the access
number and a pause in the dialing sequence; the pause allows the
switchboard enough time to get an outside line dial tone.
NOTE: Each pause you store is counted as a digit. You can store up to
16 digits in each memory location.
