Muratec F-98 EasyDial directory dialing, What if an EasyDial call doesn’t go through?

Beyond the basics

EasyDial directory dialing

The EasyDial directory dialing feature makes your autodialer even more like an electronic phone book. EasyDial sorts and displays numbers alphabetically accord- ing to their Location IDs, so you can easily find them and dial them. When the name you want appears, you just press START to begin a call (either phone or fax). Your machine’s EasyDial directory alphabetizes in the following order: alphabet, num- bers and, finally, symbols.

1 If you want to use EasyDial to make a regular phone call, make sure there’s no document in the feeder and then skip to step 4.

If you want to use EasyDial to send a fax, insert the document.

2 Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.

3 If you want to toggle between transmission from memory and transmission from the feeder, press MEMORY TRANSMIT.

4 Press SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX twice. The LCD shows the alphabetically first listing in your fax machine’s EasyDial directory:

Telephone Index	[A]
ABC Company	:A

Note: If your machine is currently holding any caller-IDs, it will show the caller-IDdirectory (see pagea 2.26-2.27) on the LCD.

If you wish to avoid the caller-IDdirectory, press any key of 2, 4, 6 or 8 on the numeric keypad.

Note: Here, the [A] indicates this listing begins with its initial in the alphabet; if it began with a symbol, this would instead be [!]; or, if it began with a number, this would instead be a [0].

(If this listing is the one you want to dial, skip to step 6.)

5 Scroll through the listings to find the one you want. You do this by pressing certain keys on the numeric keypad:

•2 or 8 to select the character set — alphabet, number or symbol — for the first character of the Location ID.

•4 or 6 to check different listings within that character set.

Note: The scrolling is “open-ended.” For example, when you run out of list- ings beginning with alphabet “A”, pressing 4 or 6 automatically moves you into listings beginning with other characters.

6 When the LCD is showing the name you want to dial, press START.

•If there is a document in the feeder, your machine will dial a fax call to the selected autodialer number.

•If there isn’t a document in the feeder, your machine will activate the mon- itor speaker and dial a regular phone call. (Remember that, to make a regular phone call from your machine, you must have attached an optional handset.) At this point, you may either:

— Lift the handset now

or

—Listen to the monitor speaker until you hear the other person answer, and then lift the handset.

What if an EasyDial call doesn’t go through?

If an EasyDial call fails (for example, because of a busy signal), what happens next depends upon the kind of call it was.

If it was a fax call …

…Your fax machine automatically redials the number after the redial interval (see page 1.16). It keeps trying until either of the following occurs first:

•It successfully reaches the other number (and, if it’s a fax call, makes contact with the machine on the other end).

•It has automatically redialed the number the last try (see page 1.15).

If it was a regular phone call … … You’ll have to redial manually:

1 Obtain a dial tone by either lifting the handset or pressing MONITOR/CALL.

2 Press REDIAL/PAUSE.
