Telephone and external devices

Voice operations

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 Hook.
b
Press # on the machine's control panel.
Any digits dialled after this will send tone
signals.
When you are finished with the call, 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 (fast double-ring) 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 Hook 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 fast
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.

Phone line services

6
Your machine supports the Caller ID
subscriber telephone service that some
6
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
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
6
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.
