How do I store numbers on my Brother machine for easy dialing? (One Touch, Speed Dial)
You can program your Brother machine to do two types of easy dialing: One Touch Dialing and Speed Dialing. If you lose electrical power, auto-dial numbers stored in memory will not be lost.

Your Brother machine has 3 One Touch keys where you can store 6 fax or telephone numbers for automatic dialing. To access numbers 4 to 6 hold down the Shift key as you press the One Touch key. You can also store names with these numbers. When you dial a One Touch number, your Brother machine's LCD displays the name or number as the call is dialed.
