Beetel M56 Landline Phone: How to Store Numbers for One-Touch Dialing

 The quickest way to make a call is still with a landline phone. However, to make a 'one-touch' call, the number first has to be stored in one of the 'one-touch' memory locations of the phone. Unfortunately, most of these phones do not come with any user manual, and it can be frustrating to figure out how to store a number for one-touch calling.

The following instructions are for the Beetel M56 phone pictured below and, hopefully, similar models.

To store a number in one of the three one-touch locations: M1/M2/M3:

1. Type in the number on the keypad.
2. Press the 'PH. BOOK' button. (This is the counter-intuitive step. One would guess that, to store a number, you should press the 'STORE' button. )
3. Press one of the M1/M2/M3 buttons to pick the memory location in which to store.
4. If the memory location is empty, you are done.
5. Otherwise, press the same button (M1/M2/M3) again to OVERWRITE the location.

To dial the number, you just press M1/M2/M3.

If more quick-dial numbers need to be stored, the 10 keypad numbers, [0-9] can be used, (the keypad letters can serve as a mnemonic guide). To store numbers in these, the procedure is:

1. Type in the number on the keypad.
2. Press the 'PH. BOOK' button.
3. Press the 'STORE' button.
4. Press one of the keypad buttons: 0-9.
5. If the corresponding memory location is empty, you are done.
6. Otherwise, press the 'STORE' button again to OVERWRITE the location.

To dial the number, you press 'STORE' followed by the keypad number location.
