STORAGE CAPACITY

Your EC-289 can store up to 3,070 units of information in its memory.
Each letter, number, space or other character you store uses about 1
memory unit.  Each record you store uses about 4 memory units for
overhead.

For example, a phonebook record containing SMITH.RODNEY in the name field
and 555-1212 in the telephone number field would use 24 memory units.

To view the amount of memory remaining at any time, press [ENTER].

FULL appears if no storage space is available.  You must delete phonebook
or memo/alert records to free additional storage space (see "Deleting
Phonebook Records" below or "Deleting Memo/Alert Records" in Faxback Doc.

DATA ENTRY TIPS

    Press [EDIT <] to erase the last character entered.

    Press the minus (-) key to enter a hyphen in a telephone or fax
    number.

    Enter last names first because the phonebook records are stored in
    alphabetical order.

    You cannot enter a space or a number as the first character in a
    record.

Each phonebook record has a single-line name field and a 2-line telephone
number field.  Each line can contain up to 64 characters, including spaces
and hyphens.
