I. HOW TO USE THE FAX-175 AS A TELEPHONE
The FAX-175 possesses very sophisticated teiephone capabiiities. Yet, these capabiiities are
easy to use.
Please note that the FAX-175 can be used for voice conversation even when the unit is set to
automatic facsimile reception mode or when the unit is copying a document.
REDIAL
SPEED DIAL -
A. Telephone Controls
All numbers are dialed from the numeric key pad on the control panel of the FAX-175. This pad
is identical to the standard touch-tone telephone dial.
The four buttons to the left of the telephone key pad are used (from the top) as follows:
• PAUSE - When pressed, a 3.7 second pause is generated. This button
has other uses in telephone-related programming (see below).
Pressing this button makes the phone automatically redial the
last number dialed. This button has additional uses (see
below).
Presssing this button initiates speed dial calls. This key is also
used to program the speed dial numbers into the unit's
memory.
Pressing this button allows you to initiate phone and fax calls
while the handset is on-hook. The built-in speaker (under the
handset) allows hands-off operation of the FAX-175 while
dialing. This button has other uses (as we've discussed in
facsimile-related programming). Please note, however, the
FAX-175 is NOT a "speaker phone I"
The other telephone-related controls are located at the back of the unit:
• PULSE/TONE Selects rotary vs. tone mode of operation
• RINGER VOLUME Offers three settings - High, Medium, Low
HOOK
SPEAKER VOLUME This control provides continuous volume adjustment from
HIGH (H) to LOW (L).
B. Using the handset
The handset of the FAX-175 is used just like any other handset of a standard telephone.
Please note the volume adjustment switch on the inside of the handset.
