Telephone and External devices

Voice Operations

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

Tone or pulse (Not Available for New Zealand)

If you are using an external telephone and have a pulse dialling service, but need to send tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below:

a Lift the handset of the external telephone.

b Press # on the control panel of your machine. 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 (fast double-ring) 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 fast 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).

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® (Distinctive Ring)

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is an enhanced Public Switched Telephone Service (PSTS)

offered by Telstra® that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its

own distinctive ring pattern. Telstra®

FaxStream® Duet® is a call handling feature that helps users distinguish voice and

facsimile calls. With FaxStream® Duet®, incoming calls to a fax number are announced by a different, distinctive ring signal. Only one call can be answered (or made) at any one time and while this call is in progress, incoming calls to either number will be presented with a busy tone.

Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes.

Note

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Your Distinctive Ring Number does not allow Voice calls - only Faxes. You can not change the receive mode from Manual mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
