There are separate phonebook directories in the hand-
set 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 phone-
book you can also select a picture to be displayed with
each entry. A convenient search feature can help you

If you pause for too long while making an entry the
