5 Dialing and storing numbers

Voice operations

You can use your external telephone to dial voice calls.

Tone or Pulse (Canada only)

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

a Do one of the following:

When Fax Preview is set to off, press

Fax.

When Fax Preview is set to on, press

Fax and Sending Faxes.

b Press Hook.

c Press # on the machine’s Touchpanel. Any digits dialed after this will send tone signals.

When you are finished with the call, the machine will return to the Pulse dialing service.

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. This service shows the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings. Call your telephone company for details.

Once you answer a call, the Caller ID information disappears from the Touchscreen, but the call information stays 5 stored in the Caller ID memory.

You can view the list or choose one of these numbers to fax to, add to Address Book, or delete from the history. (See Caller ID history on page 36.)

You can see the number (or name).

The # Unavailable message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area.

The Private Call message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of Caller ID information.

You can print a list of the Caller ID information received by your machine. (See How to print a report on page 42.)

Fax/Tel mode

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

If you are at the extension telephone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring and then press # 5 1 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

l5 1.

If you are at the machine, lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Pickup to answer.

NOTE

•This feature may not be available in certain areas of the USA and Canada.

•The Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to find out about the kind of service available in your area.
