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.

To insert a pause in a stored number: When storing a number in memory, press and hold down the number button that comes before the pause, until you hear the second beep. This inserts a 1. 5 second pause after that digit. If you hold the number button down longer, you will hear more beeps as additional pauses are stored.
