Setting up your area code (USA only)

When returning calls from the Caller ID history your machine will automatically dial “1” plus the area code for all calls. If your local dialing plan requires that the “1” not be used for calls within your area code enter your area code in this setting. With the area code setting, calls returned from the Caller ID history to your area code will be dialed using

10digits (area code + 7-digit number). If your dialing plan does not follow the standard 1 + area code

+ 7-digit number dialing system for calling outside your area code, you may experience problems returning calls automatically from the Caller ID history. If this is not the procedure followed by your dialing plan, you will not be able to return calls automatically.

Dialing and storing numbers

Special line considerationsRoll-over telephone lines

A roll-over telephone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or “rolled over” to the next available telephone line in a preset order.

Your machine can work in a roll-over system as long as it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not 5 put the machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second

fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best on a dedicated line.

Two-line telephone system

Atwo-line telephone system is nothing more than two separate telephone numbers on the same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or mixed into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line telephone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the line for your machine.
