3.
Press the number button (1-9) you assigned to the number you’re calling.
Directory Card
There is a directory card with an erasable surface located on the base to record names or telephone numbers
of the numbers stored in memory locations.
To write on the card, remove the plastic cover by inserting a pointed object in the hole and prying the cover
up until it pops out.
NOTE: The numbers stored in memory might be lost when you change the handset batteries or if the
batteries run down completely; if this happens, you’ll need to store the numbers again.
Replacing a Stored Number
You can replace a stored number by storing a new number in its place.
Storing a Pause in a Memory Dial Number
If this phone is connected to a switchboard, you might have to dial an access number (usually 9) to get an
outside line. You can store the access number and a pause in the dialing sequence; the pause allows the
switchboard enough time to get an outside dial tone.
1.
When storing a memory number (see above), press and hold the number button of the digit that comes
just before the pause until a second beep is heard. This inserts a 2-second pause.
2.
You can insert a longer pause by continuing to press and hold the number button of the digit that comes
before the pause. A beep is heard for each 2-second pause inserted.
NOTE: Each pause you store is counted as a digit. You can store up to 16 digits in each memory
location.
For example, to store 9, PAUSE, 555-1234 in memory location 3:
Press MEMORY. Press and hold 9 until a second beep is heard. Then press 5551234 MEMORY 3.

Ring Select/Toll Saver
This answering system has three Ring Select choices,
2, 4,
and
TS
(Toll Saver).
Set to 2
if you want the system to answer calls after the second ring.
Set to 4
if you want the system to answer calls after the fourth ring.
Set to TS
(toll saver) if you want the system to answer calls after the second ring when you have new
messages and after the fourth ring when you do not have new messages. On this setting, when you call from
another location for messages, you can hang up after three rings knowing you have no new messages, thus
saving on toll charges.
Automatic Answering Operation
The system is ready to answer calls when it is on and the tape is not full.
After playing your announcement and sounding a beep, the system records your caller’s message: it stops
when the caller hangs up or is silent for more than 7 seconds. Messages can be up to 4 minutes long.
Callers can press * to bypass the announcement after it begins.
