Tone or Pulse

If you have a Pulse dialling service, but need
to send Tone signals (for example, for
telephone banking), follow the instructions
below:
a
Press Speaker Phone on the machine.
b
Press # on the machine's control panel.
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 the machine, you can lift the
handset or press Speaker Phone to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, 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
condition
When the machine is in Power Save mode
you can receive faxes if the Power Save
setting is Fax Receive:On. (See Power
Save setting on page 20.)
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode and
F/T rings to tell you to pick up a voice call, you
can only answer by picking up the machine's
handset.
If you answer before the machine F/T rings,
you can also pick up the call at an external or
extension telephone.
Telephone and External devices

Phone line services

7
Your machine supports the Caller ID
subscriber telephone service that some
telephone companies offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one phone line may create
problems with the operation of your machine.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that
you will install your new machine on, there is
7
a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the
machine will conflict with each other while
receiving incoming calls. However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so
both Voice Mail and the machine can work
together without any problems. If each one
has a separate phone number, neither will
interfere with the other's operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions on next page to
'register' the new Distinctive Ring pattern
they give you. This is so your machine can
recognise its incoming calls.
