TELEPHONE MEMORY OPERATION
When storing a number, a momentary delay may be needed
in the dialing sequence for a stored telephone number. This
is generally used when a "PAUSE” is needed to wait for a
dial tone (e.g. after dialing a long distance access number).
The REDIAL button should be pressed at the point where a
pause is needed in the dialing sequence. During storage,
pushing the REDIAL button serves to store a pause in the
dialing sequence as often as needed.
Note: The REDIAL key will place a pause in the dialing
sequence anytime it is pressed after dialing a number. When
storing PAUSE in MEMORY, each PAUSE counts as one
stored digit.
Example: 123 REDIAL 456-789-0123
Memory and Redial may require the use of a “PAUSE”
when initially dialing or storing outside numbers. The
sequence, then, for dialing or storing an outside number
would be, for example; 9 REDIAL 123-4567
How to Change a Stored Number
Repeat the storage sequence. The new number will replace the
old number at the memory location.
How to Clear a Stored Number
Repeat the storage sequence. Skip step 3 in the sequence (i.e.
do not enter a telephone number). The storage location will be
blank when sequence is completed.
How to Correct an Error while Storing
Simply hang up and repeat the procedure for storing from the
beginning.

position.
• Check that handset coil cord is fully inserted at both
ends.

• Check that other phones are off hook at the same time. If
so, this is a normal condition as volume drops when
additional phones are used at once.

• Are you using too many phones on one line? The total
REN of all phones should not be greater than the
maximum REN for your calling area. (Usually maximum
