Access codes and credit card

numbers

Sometimes you may want to choose from
several long distance carriers when you
make a call. Rates may vary depending on
the time and destination. To take advantage
of low rates, you can store the access codes
or long-distance carriers and credit card
numbers as One-Touch and Speed-Dial
numbers. You can store these long dialing
sequences by dividing them and setting them
up on separate One-Touch and Speed Dial
numbers in any combination. You can even
include manual dialing using the dial pad.
(See Storing One-Touch Dial numbers on
page 7-3 and Storing Speed-Dial nu mbers on
page 7-4.)
For example, perhaps you have stored ‘555’
on One-Touch key 1 and ‘7000’ on
One-Touch key 2. If you press One-Touch
key 1, One-Touch key 2, and Black Start,
you will dial ‘555-7000’.
To temporarily change a number, you can
substitute part of the number with manual
dialing using the dial pad.
For example, to change the number to
555-7001 you could press One-Touch key 1
and then press 7001 using the dial pad.

Tone or Pulse

If you have a Pulse dialing ser vice, but need
to send Tone signals (for example, for
telephone banking), follow the instructions
below. If you have Touch Tone service, you
will not need this feature to s end tone signals.
1Lift the handset of the external phone
and press Hook or the machine’s
control panel.
2Press # on the machine’s control panel.
Any digits dialed after this will send tone
signals.
When you hang up, the machine will
return to the Pulse dialing service.
Phone line services
Your machine supports the Distinctive Ring
and Caller ID subscriber telephone services
that some telephone companies offer.
Note
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an
answering service, an alarm system or
other custom features on your telephone
line, it may affect the way your machine
works. (See Custom features on page 1-5
and Custom features on a single l ine. on
page C-12.)
If you have Voice Mail on your phone line,
please read the following carefully.

Distinctive Ring

We use the term ‘Distinctive Ring ’ but
different telephone companies have other
names for this service such as SmartRing,
RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or
Indent-a-Ring.
What does your telephone company’s
‘Distinctive Ring’ do?
Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring
service allows you to have more than one
number on the same phone line. If you need
more than one phone number, it is
cheaper than paying for an extra line. Each
phone number has its own distinctiv e ring
pattern, so you will know which phone
number is ringing. This is one way you can
have a separate phone number for your
machine.
Note
Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.
