Muratec Series 41500E, MFX-1500E operating instructions Using your fax machine as a phone

Getting started

Using your fax machine as a phone

Your fax machine can also be used as a phone, if you have an optional handset installed. The following is a brief look at the machine’s telephone features.

Redial

Press REDIAL/PAUSE to redial the last number dialed on your machine.

Dialing with the monitor speaker

Because your machine has a monitor speaker, you can dial without picking up the handset. For hands-free dialing:

1 Press MONITOR/CALL. You’ll hear a dial tone (unless you have set your speaker volume to Off; see page 1.13), and the LCD shows:

** Tel Mode **

_

2 Dial the number you want. Use either the numeric keypad, a one-touch key or a speed-dial number to dial.

Note: Remember, your fax machine’s monitor speaker is not a speakerphone. If a person answers the call, pick up the handset to speak.

Note: If the call fails, press MONITOR/CALL to hang up.

EasyDial directory dialing

The EasyDial directory feature is available for regular phone calls as well as fax calls. Review the EasyDial instructions on page 2.15 for more information.

Checking the fax reception mode

While using an optional handset for your call, if you press CLEAR ALL, the LCD shows the current fax reception mode. Press CLEAR ALL again to return to the TEL mode.

Dialing in the event of a power failure

Your fax machine can receive telephone calls even in the event of a power failure if an optional handset is attached. But it cannot send or receive a fax document.
