CHAIN-DIALING SERVICE NUMBERS When calling special services (such as alternate long distance or bank by phone), dial the service's main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEMO and the number for the location where the additional information is stored. TESTING STORED EMERGENCY NUMBERS If you store an emergency service's number (police department, fire department, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak demand periods. Also, remain on the line to explain the reason for your call. (RF/SP/all-03/11/96)
