Telephone and External devices

Voice Operations

Tone or pulse

If you are using an external phone and have
a pulse dialling service, 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 send tone signals.
a
Lift the handset of the external phone.
b
Press # on the control panel of your
machine. Any digits dialled after this will
send tone signals.
When you hang up, the machine will
return to the pulse dialling service.

Fax/Tel mode

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you are at an external telephone, lift the
handset of the external telephone, and then
press Tel/R to answer.
If you are at an extension phone, you'll need
to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time
and then press # 5 1 between the
pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line,
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send
the call back to the machine by pressing
l 5 1.
Fax/Tel mode in Power Save
mode
Fax/Tel mode does not work in power save
mode. The machine will not answer
telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing. If
you are at an external or extension phone, lift
the handset and talk. If you hear fax tones,
hold the handset until Fax Detect activates
your machine. If the other party says they
want to send you a fax, activate the machine
by pressing l 5 1.
