Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent wrong registration via a simple operation by storing the dial number of the opposite unit that had a dial call the ID of the opposite unit obtained via a communication procedure in different memory areas and then transferring these dial number and ID to other memory areas by the operations of an operator, when the transmission is ended. SOLUTION: The dial number of an opposite partly unit that had a dial call is temporarily stored in a 1st memory area AR1 of a system memory 26, and the ID of the opposite unit, that is obtained via a communication procedure is temporarily stored in a 2nd memory area AR2 respectively. A 3rd memory area AR3 stores both a dial number and an ID against single-touch operation keys. When the transmission is ended, a CPU 25 decides whether the dial number stored in the area AR1 is already registered in the area SR3. Based on this decision result, the guidance is shown on a display input panel 9. Then an operator performs an operation based on the shown guidance within a prescribed time to attain the automatic registration.
