Voice Operations
7
Voice calls can be made either with an
extension or external telephone.
Tone or pulse (Not available in
New Zealand)
7
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
7
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
Hook
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
(
# 9 1
for New Zealand)
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
(
l
9 1
for New Zealand).
Fax/Tel mode in Power Save
condition
7
Fax/Tel mode does not work in the power
save condition. 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
(
l
9 1
for New Zealand).
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?
7
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
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.
