Automatic Route Selection

Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is a feature which selects the least expensive carrier service when making long distance calls. After subscribing to a second carrier service, store the second carrier code. Then store the area codes (up to 25 codes) for which the second carrier service charge rates are lower than the first carrier service. If one of these area codes is dialed, the second carrier code will be used. When calling, you do not need to enter the code.

Please contact your telephone company regarding the carrier telephone charges.

Example 1.

Second carrier code: 01163 (The second carrier service is cheaper.)

Area code: 069

Dialed number: 069–12345 Sent number: 01163–069–12345

Dialed number: 040–54321 Sent number: 040–54321

Example 2.

Second carrier code: 01163 (The second carrier service is cheaper.)

Area code: 04

Dialed number: 0451–12345 Sent number: 01163–0451–12345

Dialed number: 0431–54321 Sent number: 01163–0431–54321

If you do not store any area codes, all phone numbers will not be dialed with the second carrier code.

When dialing the area code, do not leave a long pause between numbers. If there are pauses, a

busy tone will be heard, and you will not be able to finish dialing the number.

To return to the stand-by mode, press , and try again.
