If the record you are storing is larger than the remaining memory
space, MEMORY FULL! appears. You must delete old records before
adding new ones. See "Deleting Records."
Entering a Pause
In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code and wait for a
second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. You can store the
access code with the phone number. However, you must also store a pause
after the access code to allow the outside line time to connect.
To store a pause in a number, press SHIFT then PAUSE. P appears.
When you press DIAL to memory dial a number (see "Dialing a Stored Number"),
the dialer stops dialing at the pause entry. When the outside line
connects, press DIAL again.
RECALLING ITEMS
You can recall the records you have stored in your EC-389 using sequential
access, name search, or number search.
Note:
If -> or <- appears, use -> or <- to scroll right or left through the
line.
Sequential Access

2. Press \/ to scroll through the records starting from the first record
(alphabetically), or /\ to scroll backward from the last record.
3. Press \/ or /\ again to display the next or previous record.
Hold down either key to rapidly scroll through the data.
Name Search

four digits, press \/ or /\ to scroll forward or backward.
If no records have the same last four digits or you scrolled through
all records that have the same last four digits, the EC-389 displays
NOT FOUND!
Note:
If you enter less than or more than 4 digits and press \/ or /\, the
EC-389 moves through the numbers in alphabetical order
(see "Sequential Access").

mouthpiece.
3. To dial the number stored in the second row, press DIAL. DIALING!
appears on the display, and the dialer sends out the tone signals for
every digit in that row.
To dial the number stored in the third row, press SHIFT then DIAL.
Note:
If you want to use an alternate long distance service
(or other computer-based service) from a rotary or pulse-dialing
phone, you must use the telephone's dial to call the service's local
number. Then you can use the dialer to communicate with the service's
computer. You cannot use the dialer to directly dial a number from a
phone that does not have tone service.
Local Call
When you call from a number in the same area code, you do not need to dial
the area code.
1. Recall a record.
2. Place the dialer's rubber ring firmly against the telephone's
mouthpiece.
3. Press LOCAL. DIALING! appears on the display.
The dialer sends out the tone signals for the number stored in the second
row, beginning with the numbers after the next-to-the-last dash.
To use Local Call to dial the number stored in the third row, press SHIFT
then LOCAL.
If Number Entered is Dialer Calls
555-1234 LOCAL 555-1234

Slow Dial
The dialer's dialing speed might be too fast for some telephones.
If the call fails to connect properly, try using the slow dial function.
1. Recall a record.
2. Press SLOW. SLOW DIAL appears on the display.
3. Place the dialer's rubber ring firmly against the telephone's
mouthpiece.
4. Press DIAL (or LOCAL). DIALING! appears, and the dialer sends out the
tone signals slowly.
MANUAL DIAL
You can dial a number even if you have not stored it in the EC-389's
memory.
1. Press TEL.
2. At the NAME? prompt, press DIAL. MANUAL DIAL appears.
3. Place the dialer's rubber ring firmly against the telephone's
mouthpiece.
4. Press the desired numbers on the dialer's keypad. The dialer sends
out the tone signals.
5. To cancel manual dial, press either TEL or CAL.
OPERATING TIPS
The tones generated by the dialer are accurate and strong enough to
activate most equipment. However, older telephones that have microphones
with poor sensitivity might not receive the tones properly. As a result,
the equipment might not operate, or might operate incorrectly. In some
cases, doing the following can help improve operation with older
telephones.
Hold the telephone's handset vertically and be sure the phone dialer's
rubber ring is directly over the handset's mouthpiece.
If you still have problems, lightly tap the handset of the telephone
several times on a hard surface. These taps loosen the carbon particles
in the handset's microphone, which should make the microphone
perform better.
CALCULATOR
Press CAL to use the calculator. Before you begin calculations, press
CE/C twice to clear any old calculations from the EC-389.
If you enter an incorrect number or function key (+, -, x, etc.), press
CE/C twice to clear the incorrect entry, then enter your calculation from
the beginning.
Error Conditions
If you try to divide a number by zero, or if the result of a calculation
exceeds 10 digits, the EC-389 displays E. Press CE/C twice or CAL to
clear the display and start the calculation over.
Standard Calculations
You press: You see:
3 + 4 + 7 = 7.

Note:
M appears when a number is stored in memory.
Constant Calculations
You have noticed that the EC-389 always shows a number above the final
result. It is the number now stored in the calculator as a constant.
When you perform addition, subtraction, or division, the second number
becomes the constant; when you perform multiplication, the first number
becomes the constant.
Example:
Calculate 4 x 18, 4 x 13, and 4 x 27.
You press: You see:
4 x 18 = 4.
72.
13 = 4.
52.
27 = 4.
