Phonebook
Memory capacity
There are separate phonebook directories in the handset and the base. Each phonebook can store up to 50
entries. Each entry can contain a number up to 32 digits,
and a name up to 15 letters long. In the handset phonebook you can also select a picture to be displayed with
each entry. A convenient search feature can help you
find and dial numbers quickly (see page 20).
Timeouts and error tones
If you pause for too long while making an entry the
Phonebook will time out and you will have to begin
again.
If all memory locations are in use, an error tone will
sound when you attempt to enter a new number. This
means the memory is full, and you will not be able to
store a new number until you delete an existing one.
