DIAL SIGNALS
The MERLIN Plus system comes set to generate Touch-Tones when you dial an
outside call. This means that if one or more of your outside telephone lines
transmits rotary (pulse) signals, you have to administer the system for rotary
dialing. Otherwise you won’t be able to dial out over the rotary lines.
NOTE:
If some of your outside lines are Touch-Tone and some rotary, you may
want to ask your local telephone company to replace the rotary lines
with Touch-Tone lines.
