5 Dialing and storing numbers

Voice operations

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

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 Pick up the handset of an external telephone or press Hook.

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

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

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 Hook to answer.

Caller ID

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

After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (and name, if available). Once you answer a call, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information stays stored in the Caller ID memory.

You can view the list or choose one of these numbers to fax to, add to One Touch or Speed Dial, or delete from the history. (See Caller ID history on page 31.)

You can see the first 20 characters of 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 information.

You can print a list of the Caller ID information received by your machine. (See How to print a report on page 38.)

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.
