33 Memory Pocket Tone Dialer
(430-0141) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 38604
Your Pocket Dialer is an example of superior design and craftsmanship, and
should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you enjoy this
product for many years.
1. Keep it dry. If water should get on it, wipe it off. Water contains
minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.
2. Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
3. Do not drop it. This might cause permanent damage. The circuit boards
and case can be broken.
4. Do not use or store it in dusty areas. This will cause premature wear
of moving parts.
5. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth dampened in a mild soap and water
solution.
6. Be sure batteries are the correct type - do not use general purpose
batteries if Alkaline batteries are recommended. Remove old weak
batteries - they can leak chemicals that damage electronic circuits.
If the unit is not working properly, take it to your local Radio Shack. The
personnel there will assist you and, if necessary, arrange service.

33 Memory Pocket Tone Dialer
(430-0146) Features Faxback Doc. # 6224
Your Radio Shack Memory Pocket Tone Dialer makes it possible for you to use
computer-based services (such as alternate long distance or bank-by-phone)
even if your phone has a rotary dial or uses pulse dialing. The tone dialer
is especially useful when you are away from your home or office and cannot
always choose the type of phone you use. You can also control many other
telephone accessories - dictation machines, answering machines, call divert-
ers and so on - using these same tones. You can send individual tones by
using the dialer's manual mode, or you can store complete telephone numbers
in memory and recall them using two digit code numbers or a priority button.
The tone dialer has three priority memory locations for emergency or freq-
uently called numbers and 30 standard memory locations for other telephone
numbers. (See "Memory Capacity"). Even if you are using a tone telephone,
you can use the dialer and let it "remember" the telephone numbers for you.
The dialer's thin, pocket-size design makes it easy to carry and use where-
ever you go. And, its rubber ring fits over most telephone mouthpieces to
assure optimum transmission of the tones.
The following controls are on the tone dialer:
1. POWER/BATT LOW LED Indicator
2. PRIORITY Buttons
3. Manual DIALING Buttons
4. Special Function Buttons (Memory, Pause, Cancel)
5. Battery Compartment
6. STORE/DIAL Slide Switch
7. Built-In Speaker
8. ON/OFF Slide Switch
9. Standard Rubber Key Pad (0 - 9, * and #)
Its other features include:
Rubber Ring - Fits over most telephone mouthpieces to
assure optimum tone transmission.
Manual Mode - Lets you send individual tones.
Two-Digit Code - Gives you two different ways to store and
Numbers and Priority Button recall complete telephone numbers.
Three Priority Memory Locations - To hold emergency or frequently called
numbers.
30 Standard Memory Locations - To hold often-used telephone numbers.
Large Storage Capacity - 32 Digits Per Each Memory.

Each of the tone dialer's 33 memory locations (3 priority plus 30 regular)
can hold up to 32 digits. However, the dialer's total memory capacity is
495 digits. If you were to store 32 digits in every location, you could use
only 15 of the memory locations.
32 Digits x 15 Locations = 495 Total Digits
Since most telephone numbers are from seven to ten digits, you should never
actually run out of memory space. An error tone sounds if you try to enter too many digits in a particular memory location or if you try to exceed the total memory capacity of 495 digits.
Storing a Memory Number
Use this procedure to store a telephone number in one of the 30 regular
memory locations or in one of the three priority memory locations.
1. Set ON/OFF switch to ON.
2. Set STORE/DIAL switch to STORE.
3. Press MEM and enter the telephone number you want to store. If you make
a mistake, simply press CANCEL and repeat this step.
NOTE: You can store a pause as part of the telephone number. See "Using
pause".
4. Press MEM again.
5. Select the memory location you want to use for the telephone number.
a. If you want to store the telephone number in a priority memory
location, press one of the PRIORITY buttons.
b. If you want to store the telephone number in a regular memory
location, use the keypad to enter a two-digit code number from
01-30.
In either case, a beep sounds to indicate that the number is stored.
NOTE: If you enter more than 32 digits, an error tone sounds on the
33rd digit and further button presses produce no tones. If this
happens, repeat Steps 3-5 or set STORE/DIAL to DIAL to exit the
store mode.
USING PAUSE
When dialing some phone numbers and special service numbers, you must pause
to wait for a tone.
To program a pause in a memory number, press PAUSE at the desired point
during the storing procedure.
When the number is memory-dialed, there is a 2-second pause at each place
where you pressed PAUSE. Then, dialing automatically resumes. If you need
a longer pause, press PAUSE additional times. You get a 2-second pause for
each entry and each pause entry takes up 2 digits of the memory capacity.
You can also use PAUSE during manual dialing, but it is intended mainly for
use in memory dialing.
DIALING A MEMORY NUMBER
Use this procedure to dial a number from a regular or priority memory
location.
1. Set ON/OFF switch to ON.
2. Set STORE/DIAL switch to DIAL.
3. Place the tone dialer's rubber ring against the telephone's mouthpiece.
4. Select the desired memory location.
To dial a priority number, simply press the desired PRIORITY button
(P1, P2 or P3).
To dial a number from a regular memory location, press MEM followed by
the 2-digit code (01-30) for the desired phone number.
CHAIN DIALING
Chain dialing lets you use the dialer's memory space more efficiently. For
example, instead of storing your alternate long distance service's local
number for every long distance number in the dialer, you can store it once
in its memory location. Then, you can dial the service's number and the
long distance phone number separately. If the service's local number is in
memory location 01, you begin by pressing:
[MEMORY] [0] [1]
Then, when you hear the computer service's tone, dial the long distance
number manually or from its other memory location.
ERASING A MEMORY NUMBER
When you store a number in a memory location, any number previously stored
in that location is replaced. However, you might also want to erase a number
from a memory location without storing a new one. To do this:
1. Set STORE/DIAL switch to STORE.
2. Set ON/OFF switch to ON.
3. Press MEM two times.
4. Enter the code number or press the desired PRIORITY button (P1, P2, or
P3) for the memory location you want to erase. A beep sounds to in-
dicate that the number is erased.

Installing Batteries
Your tone dialer is powered by three AAA alkaline batteries, such as Radio
Shack Cat. No. 23-555 (not included). Install fresh batteries before you first use the dialer. When the POWER/BATT LOW indicator does not light or
you notice the volume of the tones becoming weaker, replace the batteries.
CAUTION: Be sure to set ON/OFF to OFF and replace the batteries as quickly
as possible, otherwise you might lose all numbers stored in memory.
1. Set ON/OFF switch to OFF.
2. Open the battery compartment cover by pushing it in the direction of
the arrow.
3. Remove the old batteries, if necessary, and install fresh batteries as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked in the compartment.
NOTE: If the batteries are out more than 2 minutes, you will lose all
numbers stored in memory.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

(430-0141) Troubleshooting Faxback Doc. # 38599
THE PHONE WORKS UNTIL I PICK UP AN EXTENSION PHONE, BUT IT QUITS AT THAT
POINT.
Picking up the extension line lowers the voltage, reducing the charge to
the amplifier below the level it needs. The solution to this is simply
not to pick up an extension phone.
