Psion Teklogix 32M/64M, netBook manual Setting up, Entering phone numbers

Setting up

You can use free input dialling straight away, though you should remember to add any dial-out code (this is often a ‘9’) required to obtain an outside line if you are calling from a building that has a private exchange.

If you have already entered a telephone number in Contacts, Data or Agenda, you can set up the netBook to include the dial- out code only when you need to. You can also set up the netBook so that the correct international prefixes and area codes are used when dialling.

To do this:

1.In the System Screen, tap on the Control panel button on the Toolbar or select the command from the Tools menu, and select the Dialling icon.

2.Tap the Country button and set the ‘Country’ to the country where you would normally dial non-international numbers, i.e. your country of residence. If you go abroad, change the ‘Home city’ but leave the ‘Country’ set as usual. The netBook will then be able to use the correct codes to dial numbers.

3.If you want to be able to dial out from an internal telephone exchange, e.g. from your office, enter the number you have to dial to get an outside line as a ‘Dial out code’. If the internal telephone system requires a pause after the dial out code, add a comma after the number, and set the required pause time that will be used for each comma that you enter.

Entering phone numbers

You can enter a telephone number to dial in a Contacts, Data or Agenda entry.

In Data, you can set whether a label is checked when the netBook looks for telephone numbers to dial.

To include a label in the search: select the Change labels command from the Tools menu, select the label and press the Edit button. Then, press the Options button and tick the box to make sure that the label is searched when dialling. You can remove the tick if you do not want to search a particular label, perhaps if it contains other numerical information.

Note: If it appears that the netBook does not find a telephone number you have entered in a Data entry, it may be that the label is not being searched. Follow the instructions above to ensure that the label is included in the search.

Note: You can enter a telephone number anywhere in an Agenda entry, but try to avoid mixing telephone numbers and other numbers in the same entry.

For numbers in your own country, you should include the required area code in the telephone number. For international numbers, you should include the international prefix (or use a + instead) and the required national code. If you don’t know the national code for a particular country, you can look it up in the Time program. You can use numerous other characters (e.g. brackets or a hyphen) to separate parts of the number. Do not use a comma as this represents a pause when dialling.
