Access codes and credit card
numbers
Sometimes you may want to choose from
several long distance carriers when you
make a call. Rates may vary depending on
the time and destination. To take advantage
of low rates, you can store the access codes
or long-distance carriers and credit card
numbers as One-Touch and Speed-Dial
numbers. You can store these long dialing
sequences by dividing them and setting them
up on separate One-Touch and Speed Dial
numbers in any combination. You can even
include manual dialing using the dial pad.
(See
Storing One-Touch Dial numbers
page 7-3 and
For example, perhaps you have stored ā555ā
on One-Touch key
1
and ā7000ā on
One-Touch key
2
. If you press One-Touch
key
1
, One-Touch key
2
, and
Black Start
or
Color Start
, you will dial ā555-7000ā.
To temporarily change a number, you can
substitute part of the number with manual
dialing using the dial pad.
For example, to change the number to
555-7001 you could press One-Touch key
1
and then press
7001
using the dial pad.

If you have Voice Mail on your phone line,
please read the following carefully.
Distinctive Ring
Brother uses the term āDistinctive Ringā but
different telephone companies have other
names for this service such as SmartRing,
RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or
Indent-a-Ring.
What does your telephone companyās
āDistinctive Ringā do?
Your telephone companyās Distinctive Ring
service allows you to have more than one
number on the same phone line.
If you need
more than one phone number, it is
cheaper than paying for an extra line.
Each
phone number has its own distinctive ring
pattern, so you will know which phone
number is ringing. This is one way you can
have a separate phone number for your
machine.
Note
Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.
