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 to scroll through the numbers
stored in memory until the desired number is shown.
4. Press CALL BACK. The numbers 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 use the arrow 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.
HEADSET AND BELT CLIP
OPERATION
CONNECTING A HEADSET TO THE
HANDSET
For hands free
conversation, connect the
headset (optional) to the
HEADSET jack as shown.
The handset receiver and
microphone are disabled
when the headset is
connected.
Adjust the headset to rest
comfortably on top of your
head and over your ear.
Move the microphone to
approximately 2 to 3 inches
from your mouth.
• Press the TALK button to answer or place a call before
using the headset.
CONNECTING THE BELT CLIP
There are two slots, one on
each side of the handset.
• Attach the belt clip by
inserting the sides of the
belt clip into the slots.
Snap the ends of the belt
clip into place.
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.
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.

these guidelines:

devices that generate electrical noise (for example,
motors or fluorescent lamps).
• DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough
treatment to the phone.
• Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder
because this will damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship
the phone at a later date.
• Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset
and base with a clean pencil eraser.
CAUSES OF POOR RECEPTION
• Aluminum siding

radio signals

stoves, computers, etc.

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.
NOTE: This product contains a nickel-
cadmium rechargeable battery and
must be recycled or disposed of
properly. We suggest that you check
with your local Environmental Agency
regarding recycling or disposal.
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.
