If your area code has no access numbers, you can press the LEFT arrow to return to

the Area Code screen and try a nearby area code. Toll charges may apply and are

your responsibility.

4. The Dialing Format screen appears after you have chosen a dial-in number. You

should use this screen to tell the recorder which dialing format to use. For example:

should the dial-in number be preceded by your area code and should a “1” precede

the area code? In some areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area

code. Press SELECT to return to the Phone Dialing Options screen.

To test your new dial-in number, select “Test Phone Connection Now.” The Test

Phone Connection screen appears and a test phone call begins. When the call

completes, you should see the message “Test Succeeded!” Press SELECT to return

to Phone Dialing Options.

Set Dial Prefix. Use this option if the recorder must use a prefix to reach an outside

line (for example, the recorder may need to dial “9” before it dials out). Use the

number keys on the remote control to enter the prefix. Press the PAUSE button after

you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma, which will create a two second

pause after the prefix is dialed.

Set Call Waiting Prefix. If you have call waiting, you may choose to disable it while

the recorder is making a call, so that the recorder’s phone call is not interrupted. If you

do not disable it, the recorder may drop the call and allow the second call to ring

through, depending on your phone system. The recorder will then try its call again

later. The most common code that phone companies use to disable call waiting is *70

(check with your phone company to find out how to disable call waiting in your area).

Press the PAUSE button after you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma,

which will create a two second pause after the prefix is dialed.
