Setting the Dialing Properties
Dialing properties control how the phone number you input in step 9 of the above
procedure is actually dialed. To open the Dialing Properties dialog, tap Start,
Settings, and then Dialing.
A nine is dialed before
the phone number if you
select Work here.
You can set up properties for each dialing location from which you dial. Then before
you need to dial a number, simply select the dialing location you want, and dialing is
performed with all the necessary prefixes.
Let’s say you have the following number specified for your dial-up connection.
Area Code: 567 Phone Number: 123-4567
You can set up dialing properties to add the area code whenever you dial from home,
and drop the area code but append a nine at the beginning to get an outside line
whenever you dial from the office.
Dialing from home: 567-123-4567
Dialing from the office: 9-123-4567
You can add new dialing locations to the list as required, and even specify different
dialing patterns for each location. See Palm-size PC online help for more information
about dialing properties.
