But remember that RESET clears all data in memory. To Enter the Secret Memory Area 1. Enter the Telephone Directory Mode. 2. Press KEY. 3. Input the password exactly as you registered it, and press EXE. If the password is correct, the unit will enter the sectet memory area.

When you search for something in the secret memory area, only data in the secret memory area is recalled. To Exit the Secret Memory Area After finishing what you want to do in the secret memory area, press KEY. The pointer is no longer under the KEY indicator, which means that the unit is in the normal (non-secret) memory area.

While in the secret memory area with the "NAME?" message on the display, press CLEAR and then KEY SYMBOL to display the current password. 2. Press CLEAR again, then change the password to the new one. In this example, input CLEAR A B C. Use the editing procedures described under "Inputting Data", above, to change the password. 3.
