Your fax machine can be used to make regular telephone calls. You can dial numbers manually,
by pressing the number keys, or by using One-Touch or Speed-Dialing.
Manual Dialing
1. Pick up the handset, or press Hook.
2. When you hear a dial tone, you can begin dialing by pressing the number keys.
3. If you used Hook, pick up the handset when the call is answered.
One-Touch Dialing
1. Pick up the handset, or press Hook.
2. When you hear a dial tone, press the desired One-Touch key.
3. If you used Hook, pick up the handset when the call is answered.
If you try to use a One-Touch number that has not been registered, you will hear a warning sound
and the display will carry a message reading, NOT REGISTERED. The display will return to
normal after 2 seconds.
Speed Dialing
1. Pick up the handset or press Hook.
2. When you hear a dial tone, press Speed-Dial and then the two-digit Speed-Dial number.
3. If you used Hook, pick up the handset when the call is answered.
Using Keys with the Telephone
-Press Redial/Pause to insert a 3.5 second pause between numbers.
-Press Hold to put a call on hold. You can replace the handset without disconnecting
the call. You must pick up the fax handset to release the call from Hold.
-Press # to switch the dialing type from “pulse” to “tone” temporarily. This key also
is used for push-button services, such as those offered by banks, credit card
companies, or paging services.
On Hook Dialing
When you make a call using Hook, you can listen to the other end through the one-
way speaker of the machine, but the other party can not hear you unless you pick up
the handset. Also, if you press Hook again before you pick up the handset, the call
will be disconnected.
