InfoGation Corp. PhoneBase 15
About the Display
When you launch PhoneBase, the system automatically
places you in the “Scratchpad”. The Scratchpad is a
temporary workspace. The system automatically places any
number you enter or select—from a Preset location or from
the recall list—in the Scratchpad. As long as the Auto PC is
turned on, the Scratchpad will retain the last number you
selected and dialed. From the Scratchpad, you can toggle
the Selector Control up or down to move through numbers
you enter and store in “Preset” locations.
PhoneBase allows you to store up to 100 preset numbers.
You can also label these locations to help you remember the
person or place you are calling. When you start the program
for the first time, the system displays ten blank Preset
locations. When you fill the tenth location, the system
automatically adds a new one (i.e., to give you 11, then 12,
and so on, up to 100). This feature helps keep the list
compact and eliminates having to scroll through a large
number of empty Presets.
Navigating PhoneBase
You can navigate and control the system vocally, using voice
commands, or manually, using the Selector Control, buttons,
and Keypad. To see a list and description of the voice and
menu commands available in PhoneBase, see Chapter 4—
Command Reference on page 27.
Entering and Editing Preset Numbers
PhoneBase allows you to store up to 100 numbers in Preset
locations. As described below, you can use voice
commands, menu selections, and/or the Keypad to enter or
edit Preset numbers. You can also edit the label associated
with a Preset to help you identify or recognize stored
numbers.
InfoGation Corp. PhoneBase 16
