Changing the dialing type
If, with your machine set for “pulse” dialing, you must enter tones (“
DTMF
”) during a
call, press [Tone] (the “–!” symbol will be shown on the
LCD
). Your machine now will
“tone” dial all subsequent numbers.
Note: Using this key enables tone transmission from the numeric keypad after the
call is connected. When you hang up the call, your machine will return to
“pulse” dialing for the next call.
Dialing in the event of a power failure
If your fax is equipped with an optional handset, you can use that handset to manu-
ally answer calls in the event of a power failure. But your fax machine cannot send or
receive a fax during a power failure.
