Phonebook
Shared phonebook directory
The phonebook directory is stored in the base, and is
shared by all handsets. Changes made at any handset
will be reflected in all handsets.
If you have multiple handsets, only one person at a
time can use the phonebook. If a person using another
handset attempts to use the phonebook, an error
tone will be heard.
The phonebook can store up to 160 entries. Each
entry can contain a number up to 24 digits, and a
name up to 16 letters long. A convenient search fea-
ture can help you find and dial numbers quickly (see
page 20).
Internet and standard calls
You can use SkypeOut or your standard telephone
line to call numbers entered in your phonebook. Just
make sure each number is entered as it will be dialed
(that is, include the area code and “1” prefix if
required). The telephone will insert a “+” prefix to
the number if you use SkpeOut to call a standard
phone number.
Note: To make Internet calls to standard telephone
numbers, you must establish a Skype Out account
(see page 4). For information on placing SkypeOut
calls to international numbers, see page 27.
Timeouts and error messages
If you pause for too long while making an entry, the
procedure will time out and you will have to begin
again.
If all memory locations are in use, an error message
will be displayed. You will not be able to store a new
number until you delete an existing one.
