CONNECTING THE AUTO-DIALER
The EC-348 uses modular telephone jacks to connect to the phone line. If
your telephone and/or line does not have modular jacks, you can purchase
the necessary adapters at your local Radio Shack store. Or, you can have
your local telephone company update your wiring.
The EC-348 dials using standard touchtones. If you do not subscribe to
touch-tone service, you must order this service from your local telephone
company to use this feature.
The telephone company will charge you for the installation or necessary
jacks and any change in service. The telephone company will ask you for
the USOC of the jack to be installed. This number is RJ11C.
Follow these steps to connect the auto-dialer to your phone line.
1. Unplug the modular cord from your telephone and plug it into the EC-
348's LINE jack.
2. Plug one end of the supplied modular telephone cord into the EC-348's
PHONE jack. Then plug the cord's other end into the phone's modular
jack.

If you do not press a key within about 3 minutes, the EC-348
automatically turns off.
TURNING THE KEY TONE ON AND OFF
If the key tone function is on, the EC-348 beeps each time you press a key.
To turn this function on or off, press and hold SPACE and then press K.

indicates the position where you enter the next character.
The cursor keys move the cursor to the right or left along a data line, and

show the direction.
The symbol shown below indicates the end of a line.

STORING RECORDS
STORAGE CAPACITY
All records share a common memory. Each letter, number, space or other
character you store uses 1 memory unit. For example, the word COMPANY has
7 letters and therefore uses 7 units. The EC-348 can store a total of
129,408 units of information in the business card file and reminder notes.
To view the remaining memory, press BUSINESS CARD FILE. The number of
available units for all functions appears on the display.
TYPE IN THE NAME OF
A PERSON OR COMPANY
MEMORY USED 27
MEMORY AVAILABLE 129381
FULL appears on the display if no storage space is available. Delete
business card records or reminder notes records to free additional storage
space. See "Deleting a Record."
DATA ENTRY TIPS
Use the business card file to store all names, company names, phone
numbers, fax numbers, addresses, and any additional information.
Use the reminder notes for miscellaneous messages and a list of things
to do.
Press SPACE to enter a space.
Press ERASE to erase the last character entered.
Press RETURN to start a new line.
BUSINESS CARD FILE
Each business card record can hold up to 62 lines of information. The
maximum length for the person's name is 24 characters; the company's name,
24 characters; the phone number, 12 digits; and the fax number, 11 digits.
You can use the remaining 58 lines for any additional information you want
to enter.
For example:
Name: SMITH HOWARD
Company: SMITH TOOLS
Telephone: 817-555-9382
Fax: 817-5552774
Other Information: 2738 WINDSTONE AVENUE. FORT WORTH. TX 76102
This record uses about 91 memory units, including spaces and punctuation.
You could enter about 1422 records of this length.
If you did not store a fax number, address, and other information in the
above example, it would use only 35 memory units. You can store about
4174 records of this size.
NOTES: The EC-348 stores and recalls records by the first few characters
in the person's/company's name. Enter the name last-name-first, if
