The PortaView Plus has an 8K (8,192 characters) Random Access Memory (RAM). The memory
feature can save you time by letting you save often used messages, prepare a message before making
a call to save on long distance charges, and to save frequently called numbers.
MEMORY AREAS
The PortaView Plus memory is divided into 6 blocks, consisting of 5 “areas” labeled M1 to M5 plus a
directory of phone numbers:
• M1 and M2 can hold 32 characters each. These are suitable for short messages such as a
greeting that might be used for any incoming call.
• M3 holds 256 characters, for somewhat longer messages.
• M4 holds approximately 1,200 characters. This area can be used to store a message that will be
sent as an outgoing call.
• M5 stores all outgoing and incoming data automatically, using the remaining available space. If
the space available to store messages runs out during a conversation, new data will overwrite
the old data in area 5, beginning with the oldest message. This will not affect stored messages in
any other area. Information on area 5 cannot be sent to another TDD/TTY.
• A phone directory (with labels D1 to D9) provides 9 locations plus one password bank of 24
characters each, which can be used to store and view frequently dialed phone numbers.
