We have these exact phones in our Central Control Room. We do not have instruction manuals for them either and they are discontinued. However, I figured out how to program external phone numbers into the speed dialer.
First, put the switch on the left-hand side of the phone (near the handset) to the "P" position. This will make all the lights and ringer go off. You are now in program mode. Next, press a button on the right-hand side of the phone that you would like to program a number to (say the top, right button). Press the button and it should say "blank." Then, go ahead and enter the telephone number that you want for that button. You should see the number appear in the digital display up top. After you've done this, press the top, right button again and this programs the number into that particular button!
Repeat the above steps for multiple auto-dialers going on down the column.
A hard reset will clear a consumer set pass code, unless it is stolen, reported stolen or the code to open has been entered wrongly 4 times. Then it becomes PUK/SIM locked. EXCEPT, now I looked it up, this is a home phone!
