CHANGING A STORED NUMBER
Use the same procedure to change a stored number as
you do to store a number—you’re just replacing the phone
number with a different one.
DIALING A STORED NUMBER
1. Make sure the phone is ON by pressing the TALK
button.
2. Press MEMORY.
3. Press the number (0-9) for the desired memory location.
The number dials automatically.
OR
1. Make sure the phone is OFF.
2. Press MEMORY.
3. Use the arrow buttons (* and #) to scroll through the
numbers stored in memory until the desired number is
shown.
4. Press CALL BACK. The number dials automatically.
IMPORTANT: If you make test calls to emergency
numbers stored in memory, remain on the line and
briefly explain the reason for the call to the dispatcher.
Also, it’s a good idea to make these calls in off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late evening.
INSERTING A PAUSE IN THE DIALING
SEQUENCE
Press the REDIAL button to insert a delay in the dialing
sequence of a stored telephone number when a pause is
needed to wait for a dial tone (for example after you dial 9
for an outside line, or to wait for a computer access tone).
Each pause counts as 1 digit in the dialing sequence.
REVIEWING AND DELETING STORED
NUMBERS
1. Press MEMORY, then press the arrow (* and #) keys to
view the entry.
2. While the entry is displayed, press DELETE to delete the
entry. The display shows
ERASE MEMO?
3. Press DELETE a second time to delete the entry.
CHAIN DIALING FROM MEMORY
Use this feature to make calls which require a sequence of
numbers such as using a calling card for a frequently
called long distance number. Basically, you dial each part
of the sequence from memory. The following example
shows how you can use chain dialing to make a call
through a long distance service:
The Number For Memory Location
Long distance access number 7
Authorization code 8
Frequently called long distance number 9
1. Make sure the phone is ON.
2. Press MEMORY and then press 7.
3. When you hear the access tone, press MEMORY and
then press 8.
4. At the next access tone, press MEMORY and then 9.
TIP: Wait for the access tones before pressing the next
memory button, or your call might not go through.
BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not burn, disassemble, mutilate, or puncture. Like
other batteries of this type, toxic materials could be
released which can cause injury.
• To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the
battery listed in the User’s Guide.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of
children.
• Remove batteries if storing over 30
days.
CHANGING THE
BATTERY
Make sure the telephone is OFF
before you replace battery.
1. Remove the battery compartment
door.
2. Disconnect the cord attached to the
battery pack and remove the
battery pack from the handset.
3. Insert the new battery pack and
connect the cord into the jack inside
the handset.
4. Put the battery compartment door back on.
5. Place handset in the base to charge. If you don’t charge the
handset battery properly (for 12 hours) when you first set up the
phone and/or when you install a new battery pack, the battery’s
long-term performance will be compromised.
TELEPHONE NETWORK
INFORMATION
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which
may harm the telephone network, the telephone company,
where practicable, may notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior
notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant
such action, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is required in the operation
of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the
use or performance of your telephone equipment, the
telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to
allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon
termination of your telephone from your line.
REN NUMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating,
among other information, the FCC Registration number
and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices
you may connect to your telephone line and still have all
of these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of
all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To
be certain of the number of devices you may connect to
your line as determined by the REN, you should contact
your local telephone company.
