Only numbers you've dialled manually will be stored in the LNR memories;

Each time you dial a number, it clears the oldest one from the LNR memories;
so you don't need to clear numbers manually unless you want to.
9 Intercom, transfer and conference
If you have an e800 multi-handset system, you already have up to six handsets

7 Caller Display
If you subscribe to this feature from your service provider, you can see the phone
numbers of your callers on the display, before you answer. If a caller withholds
their number by dialling 141, or if they are calling from a network that does not
transmit the number, no number will be shown on the display when the phone
rings.
The e800 will store the numbers of the last 10 callers (whether or not you
answered the call) so you can call them back later. When all 10 Caller Display
memories are full, the next incoming number will overwrite the oldest one. If the
number was withheld or unavailable, no record will be stored.

Positions for the base unit and charger pod
The base unit and charger pod should each be placed on a level surface, in a
position where:

mains supply socket — never try to lengthen the mains power cable
the telephone line cable will reach your telephone line socket or extension
socket (base unit only; charger pods have no connection to the telephone line)

during calls
it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else where it might get
wet
it is not close to other electrical equipment — fridges, washing machines,
microwave ovens, TVs, fluorescent lights, etc.
To use your handset and base unit together, you must be able to establish a
radio link between them. Be aware that:
Siting the base unit as high as possible will give better results — for example,
in a two-storey house, the best position may be on the first-floor landing.
Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror or a filing cabinet —
), put the handset onto
between the handset and base unit may block the radio signal.
Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the signal strength.
