Next, its operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of data stored in the memory 1c, and FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of the operation.

An example will be explained in which today is Thursday and wake-up calls are to be set for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

[0024] A special number is a number used to use a function specific to a key telephone or a hotel. For example, when the first digit of the dial is 8 or 9, it is treated as a special number.

[0025] When setting a wake-up call at 7:30 on Fridays, the special number is 9-5-6-0730. The first 9 is the special number, the second digit 5 is the wake-up call setting number, the third digit 6 is the sixth day of the week,
That is, it is a number representing Friday, and the fourth to seventh digits, 0730, represent 7:30. The above special number is input using the dial key 20b (step S1). The key data input using the dial key 20b is read by the telephone control means 20a and sent to the button telephone main device 1.

In the button telephone main device 1, the sent key data is taken into the main control means 1b through the main exchange means 1a, and the data to be stored in the memory 1c is determined based on the day of the week code and cabin number in this key data. A memory address is derived (step S1-1), and the wake-up call time included in the key data is stored in the memory address. Assuming that the guest room number is 101, the wake-up call time 0730 will be stored in the address 6 (Friday) of the guest room number 101 in the memory 1c (step S2
