I'm trying to programme phone numbers that I use daily into the phone's memory (not the quick dial buttons on the right). The instructions in the quick reference guide don't seem to work ( at least for me). Plus, it only explains how to porgamme a phone number to a 2 digit number (i.e. HO's number could be number 11), but I only want to add them to the 'address book', if that's possible. Thanks for any help!!

The manual is available here: www.uniden.com/pdf/CEZ260om.pdf. If you search google for "uniden cez260 corded phone manual" it is the first result.


You can find the instructions in the fourth column of text under "Storing a Name and Number in Memory"

Here is the text from that section, but I can't promise the copied text is accurate. Check the pdf at that address if anything doesn't work.
Storing a Name and Number in Memory
1. Press STORE. LOCATION? shows in the display.
2. Press the desired memory location (0 to 9 or quick call buttons A, B, or C.) NOTE: Press LEFT or RIGHT to scroll through 0 - 9 or quick call buttons A, B, or C to select a location.
3. Press STORE again to con? rm the memory location. NOTE: Use Delete to erase existing memories or to correct errors.
4. Use the number keys to enter the telephone number (up to 32 digits) and then press STORE to save. (The unit will not dial a phone number in this mode.) The cursor automatically moves to the text line for name entry.
5. Use the number keys to enter the name of the person associated with the telephone number you just entered. More than one letter is stored in each of the number keys. Press the keys multiple times to scroll through the letters for that key. For example, to enter "B," press "2" twice. Press LEFT two times to create a space. NOTE: The ? ashing cursor automatically moves to the next position or you may press LEFT or RIGHT to move the cursor to the next position.
6. Press STORE to save the name.
7. To enter another name and number in a di erent memory location, return to step 1 and repeat this process.

Storing a Pause in Memory
The REDIAL/PAUSE button has dual functionality and becomes a pause button when pressed in sequence after the STORE button. It is valid only when storing a number into memory locations. Use the REDIAL/PAUSE button to insert a pause when a delay is needed in an automatic dialing sequence (for example, when you must dial a 9 to get an outside line or when you enter codes to access your long distance company).
NOTE: A pause is 3 seconds in length and you can store more than one if a longer pause is needed. Changing a Stored Number Repeat the storage sequence under Storing A Name and Number in Memory, and press DELETE to delete the old number before entering the new number.

4. Press STORE to enter Edit mode, and then pressSTORE again to edit the name. NOTE: Select a di erent memory location by using LEFT and RIGHT to scroll through 0 - 9 or quick call buttons A, B, or C.
5. Press STORE to con? rm and save. Wait three seconds to exit.
NOTE: If the name you want to enter is longer than 12 characters, only the ? rst 12 characters will be copied into memory.

After a lot of research, I have found that GE has handed the phones and their manuals down to a company called "ThomsonTM" And if you come across any of problems for this phone in the future, I'll give you their phone number so you can still get help, at: 1-800-447-1700

Otherwise for help right now for the speed dial issue, I could only find directions that were of general use of multiple GE Cordless Phones, so it's worth a shot if you've got the time, otherwise, I suggest calling the number above.

Here is goes:

1.)Raise the phones reciever, or push the "Power/On" button.

2.)Press the "Store" button.

3.)Press the number 0 through 9 or a quick dial letter A, B, C,... to assign, then press the "Store" Button again to confirm the entry.

4.)Enter the number you want to assign the speed dials memory location, and press "Store".

5.)If your GE Phone prompts you to enter a Contact Name, use the keypad to enter it. Press the "Skip" button to enter a space, and the "Store" button to confirm your entry once again.

Once again, this is just a generalized GE Cordless phone guide, and may not be exact to your phone, in which I further suggest calling the electronic product's helpline by ThomsonTM at:
1-800-447-1700 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting

Hope this helps!

What happens when you dial "9" on the intercom? If you get an outside line, then your phone is programmed properly. If you get an empty line, then you need to disable vacant lines in system program 400.

To program the right side buttons for speed dial, press PROGRAM a button on the right side, and dial 9+ the number as you would dial it on an outside line, then STORE.

On the left side, a waste if you're putting speed dial number sin, you dial 29 instead of 9, but normally you reserve them for lines, extensions, and features that require lit buttons. The codes would begin with 0,1 and whatever the magic code for the features are.

It's for a different model (2-9169), but I was able to store a number on my 2-9167A from these instructions. You'll have to lift off the plastic cover on the right side to be able to press the "Store" button - but you probably know that. Also, if you actually want to store more than 9 numbers (not counting the A, B & C buttons), then you'll use 01 thru 09 when storing or dialing. Good luck!

Hello,
Here are the commands to run the phones memory dial (speed-dial).  I have included the instructions for deleting and changing numbers as well.  It is listed below.  I hope this helps you out.

Does anyone know how to add PAUSE in a stored dial string?

There is no way to clear the settings you would have to re-program the correct setting. Did you program one touch speed dial on the line buttons? I do not see how programming a speed dial could effect accessing the CO lines unless you re-programmed the CO line buttons by mistake. If so, you would need to re-program those soft keys to line buttons. The manual you have may not cover this? The phone you have can work on a few different Panasonic phone systems. If you need a more detailed manual you will first need to know which Panasonic phone system you have. The phone part number WILL NOT help you determine which phone system you have. There is a main control unit somewhere (basement, utility closet, etc..)

Store as many as 12 numbers in memory for easy dialing. Three can be stored in the Emergency Quick Dial locations, and nine additional numbers can be stored in the numbered keys (1-9).
