USING THE DIRECTORY

To enter the directory mode, repeatedly press ON/MENU until NAME? DATA
appears on the display.

The EC-360's directory lets you store up to 50 records.  Each record can
have a name of up to 12 characters, and a telephone number of up to 12
digits.

USING THE KEYPAD

Each number key (0 through 9) has red characters above it.

In the directory mode, each time you press a number key, the display
sequences through the characters above it and the number.

NOTES:  If you enter an incorrect character or digit, while the cursor is
        flashing, press left or right arrow to move the cursor to the
        incorrect character, then re-enter the correct character or digit.

        To enter more than one character using the same number key, press
        right arrow then enter the next character.

        To enter a character space, press right arrow.

        To enter a dash between digits, press - (minus).

    the cursor moves down to the second line so you can enter the
    telephone number.

a name.

       many additional letters as necessary.

2.  Press down or up arrow.  The display shows the first matching entry.

NOTES:  If the directory does not find a matching entry, NOT FOUND appears
        on the display.

        To scroll through entries starting from the displayed one,
        repeatedly press down arrow to scroll forward or up to scroll
        backward.

EDITING RECORDS

Follow these steps to edit a stored record (change, delete, or insert
characters in a name or digits in a phone number).

1.  While NAME? DATA appears on the display, recall the record you want to

    want to edit flashes.

    To edit the phone number, press down arrow then repeatedly press right
    arrow until the digit you want to edit flashes.

    digit disappears from the display and all characters/digits to the right
    of the deleted one shift one space to the left.

    acter/digit.
