Page 3: Getting Started
Getting Started Thank you for purchasing our dialer. Before you begin installing it, you should read the section below. How the Dialer Works The dialer simplifies using calling cards by dialing all the extra numbers automatically. When you first install the dialer, or when you get a new prepaid phone card, you set up the dialer using LearnMode one of two basic ways:... -
Page 4: Installing The Dialer
Installing the Dialer First, find a suitable location for the dialer. This location needs two things: • A standard phone jack connected to the phone line you want to use for your dialer. It’s okay if there’s something plugged into that jack, since the dialer has an extra jack for that situation. - Page 5 Dialer Phone Jack Power Cube Dialer Cord (short) Note: If the dialer’s LED remains on solidly (i.e., does not blink), plug the dialer cord into the dialer’s phone jack 1. This is very important. If you’d like, you can mount the dialer on your wall using the self-adhesive pad provided, or you can use screws if you prefer.

Page 6: Setting Up The Dialer
Setting Up the Dialer If you want to share your dialer among people who will use different calling cards, please read the section Advanced LearnMode (page 8) for instructions on how to set up dialer keys. Otherwise please read about LearnMode below. - Page 7 Your dialer is now ready to route all North American toll calls. Now you can make prepaid calls using your dialer by coming off-hook and dialing <number> where <number> is a long distance number, 1 followed by 10 digits. If you have any trouble, please see LearnMode Tips on page 9.

Page 8: Adding Key
Advanced LearnMode: Adding Keys You can define privacy keys in Advanced LearnMode. Keys configure the dialer so that only people who know the keys can use the dialer. Roommates with different calling cards can share a single dialer if each roommate has his or her own key. -
Page 9: Learnmode Tips
If you want to make calls outside North America, teach the dialer how to dial the number in Advanced LearnMode as follows. (You can use the same key you used for calls to North America, if you want to). Keys are two-digit numbers. You may use any two digit number from 00 to 99. - Page 10 extra after the end of each prompt, and dialing each number smoothly, without long pauses. If you only want to set up your dialer, but don’t want to complete your call, you can hang up after you hear the acknowledgment beeps. Dialer Installation &...

Page 11: Settings
Settings In this section we tell you how to go into and use AutoRoute Mode, and how to vary the loudness or length of the DTMF tones generated by your dialer. If you don’t care about these things, please go to Using Your Dialer on page 15. -
Page 12: Routing Commands
Example: If your local area code is 555, take your phone off-hook and enter #94 555 ##. After getting this command, the dialer will no longer auto- route calls within your local calling area. (Note: your local calling area may include from one to about ten area codes. You only have to enter your own area code. - Page 13 area codes that includes all area codes in your local telephone area called a “LATA.” The dialer does not route to these area codes. If you want to add to the list of area codes that the dialer won’t route to (will pass through), take your phone off- hook and dial #6 <xxx>#<xxx>#<xxx>## where <xxx>...

Page 14: Dialer Tone Settings
Dialer Tone Settings The dialer dials by generating DTMF tones. You can adjust the DTMF tone volume and tone length to please you. However, if you make the tones too short or soft, they may not be consistently and reliably detected during dialing. Often you can make just the first tone of each number longer or louder, to make detection more reliable. -
Page 15: Using The Dialer
Using the Dialer When you place a call that should be routed, the dialer listens to the digits you have dialed and stores them. When the dialer is storing those dialed digits, they sound very soft because the dialer is preventing them from being heard by your local telephone office. - Page 16 The dialer may need to generate fairly loud tones to work with some calling cards, so you may want to hold the phone away from your ear when the dialer is dialing. The dialer tone volume is adjustable, as discussed on page 29 in the Settings section.

Page 17: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions Q: When I dial, why do the dialed digits sometimes sound soft? A: When the tones are soft, the dialer is storing dialed digits while preventing them from being heard by the central telephone office. If the tones were loud, the central phone office would hear them and get confused. - Page 18 7.) The dialer is not powered up. Check that the dialer’s light flashes when your phones are all on-hook. 8.) Is the dialer’s light on all the time when your phones are on-hook? If so, the phone line is plugged into the wrong dialer jack.
- Page 19 The command # * 7 1 # # tells the dialer to listen for the first voice prompt after the dialer dials the calling card provider’s access code. The command # * 8 1 # # tells the dialer to listen for voice prompts between subsequent numbers.
- Page 20 The next time you make a call, the dialer will route the call normally. (* 0 won’t work when keys are enabled). Q: Why do I still see some long distance calls on my phone bill? A: It’s probably because the dialer did not route those calls.
- Page 21 Q: Does the dialer work with rotary or pulse phones? A: No, the dialer only works with tone phones connected to central telephone offices set up to accept standard tones called DTMF tones. Q: What happens if I finish dialing, and the dialer doesn’t dial when I expect it to.
- Page 22 Otherwise you will need to arrange for 3-way calling through your local telephone company. Note that if your dialer is set to AutoRoute Mode, you will have to dial *0 after a hook flash to make a 3-way call through your local telephone company.
