7 Telephone and External devices

Voice operations

Voice calls can be made either with an extension or external telephone, by dialling manually, or by using Quick Dial numbers.

Tone or Pulse (Not Available for New Zealand)

If you have a Pulse dialling service, but need to send Tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below:

a Pick up the handset of the external telephone.

b Press # on the machine’s control panel. Any digits dialled after this will send tone signals.

When you hang up, the machine will return to the Pulse dialling service.

Fax/Tel mode

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double- ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

If you are at an external telephone, lift the handset of the external telephone, and then press Hook to answer.

If you are at an extension telephone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand) between the pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand).

Fax/Tel mode in Power Save condition

When the machine is in Power Save mode you can receive faxes if the Power Save setting is Fax Receive:On. (See Power Save setting on page 27.)

Fax/Tel mode does not work in the Power Save condition. The machine will not answer telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing. If you are at an external or extension telephone, lift the handset and talk. If you hear fax tones, hold the handset until Fax Detect activates your machine. If the other party says they want to send you a fax, activate the machine by pressing l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand).
