the "rule" for dialling code numbers or the first digits of dialling code numbers with which you wish the preselection number to be used.

u The "without preselection" list con-

tains the "exception to the rule". Example: You have entered 08 for "with preselec-

tion". Now all numbers that start with 08 will be dialled with preselection. If, for example, you want 081 to still be dialled without preselection, enter 081 for "without preselection".

When dialling, the first digits of the selected numbers are compared with both lists after the talk/handsfree key is pressed:

u The preselection number is not pre-

fixed if the dialled number – does not match any entries in the

two lists

– matches an entry in the "without

preselection" list

the first digits of the dialled number match only one entry in the "with preselection" list.
