If your area code has no access numbers, you can press LEFT arrow to return to the Area Code screen and try a nearby area code. Toll charges may apply and are your responsibility.

4.The Dialing Format screen appears after you have chosen a dial-in number. You should use this screen to tell the Recorder which dialing format to use. For example: should the dial-in number be preceded by your area code and should a “1” precede the area code? In some areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area code. Press SELECT to return to the Phone Dialing Options screen.

Set Dial Prefix. Use this option if you normally dial a prefix before making a phone call (for example, if you need to dial “9” to get an outside line). Use the number keys on the remote control to enter the prefix. Press the PAUSE button after you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma, which will create a two second pause after the prefix is dialed.

Set Call Waiting Prefix. If you have call waiting, you may choose to disable it while the Recorder is making a call, so that the Recorder’s phone call is not interrupted. If you do not disable it, the Recorder may drop the call and allow the second call to ring through, depending on your phone system. The Recorder will then try its call again later. The most common code that phone companies use to disable call waiting is *70 (check with your phone company to find out how to disable call waiting in your area). Press the PAUSE button after you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma, which will create a two second pause after the prefix is dialed.

Set Tone/Pulse. If your phone system uses pulse dialing, rather than tone dialing, you can change the setting to pulse here. (Today, most phone systems are tone.)
