Setting A Daily Alarm
You can set the EC-370 so it sounds an alarm at the same time every day.

about 20 seconds and displays the daily alarm screen, then the last
selected function appears on the display. To stop the alarm while it is

turns itself on, sounds the alarm, and displays the daily alarm
screen.
If you press a key at the exact time the alarm is set to sound, the

Storing Telephone Records
Each telephone directory record lets you store up to 383 characters and
has preset fields where you can enter name, phone number, and address
information, along with up to six "free" (freestyle) fields where you can
enter any type of information (such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.).
Notes: You can enter only 16 characters on a line, but you can store more
than one line of information in any field.
You can store letters in the phone number fields.
For example:
Name field: Doe, Marvin
Doe, Martha
Phone field: Home 555-0826
FAX 555-0819
Address field: 1600 Big Street
Anytown, USA 12345
Free field 1: Birthdays-
Marvin 07/30
Martha 02/14
Free field 2: Anniversary-
02/18
This example record uses about 154 memory units, including spaces,
punctuation, and overhead.

lists, meeting notes, and more. Each memo you store can be up to 383

full view, you can press /\ or \/ to scroll backward or forward
through the record.
Depending on the record type, index view lets you view key data for up to
two stored records at one time.
To change the display from one view to the other, simply press DISP CHNG.

any reminder records you stored.
Using Index Search
Follow these steps to search for a stored record by scrolling through all
stored records of that type.
Note: If you are searching for a schedule record, you must scroll through

desired record. To find the desired record faster, however, you can
select that schedule record's date in the calendar function first,
then begin the index search.
1. Press MENU to display the main menu, then select the icon for the

records until the desired record appears at the top of the display,
then press DISP CHNG to view the entire record.
Using Initial Character Search
Follow these steps to search for a telephone, memo, or reminder record
using data that appears at the beginning of the record.
1. Press MENU to display the main menu, then select the icon of the
function where the record is stored.
2. If you are searching for a telephone or memo record, enter the first
few characters of the name or memo subject.
If you are searching for a reminder record, enter the reminder date.
Note: Be sure to enter SHIFT then SPACE (_ _) for the month of a daily
or monthly reminder and the date of a daily reminder.
3. Press SEARCH. SEARCH appears and the EC-370 displays the index view
of up to the first two records that match the search data you entered.
Note: If no records are stored in memory or no record matches the data
you entered, NOT FOUND! appears briefly, then the search data
you entered reappears. To clear the display, press ON/CLEAR. To
edit the search data and try again, use the arrow keys to move
the cursor and enter the correct data (see "Editing a Stored
Record" in Faxback Doc. # 61492), then repeat this step.
4. If more than one record matches the search data you entered, press /\
or \/ to scroll forward or backward through the matching records until
the desired record appears at the top of the display, then press DISP
CHNG to view the entire record.
5. Press ESC or ON/CLEAR so SEARCH disappears from the display.
Repeat these steps for each record you want to locate.
