Chain Dialling for Long Numbers
The maximum number of digits which may be entered when storing a fax number is 20.
If you need to store a number which is longer than 20 digits, use Chain Dialling.
Chain Dialling allows you to combine two or more Automatic Dialling numbers, or use
an Automatic Dialling number followed by additional digits entered manually with the
number keys, to dial a single number. In addition to being convenient for storing long
numbers, it allows you to store an area code or access code as an Automatic Dialling
number.
For example, to store a 36 digit number for Automatic Dialling, you must break it into
two parts:
1. Store the first 20 digits into one Speed Dial number (“01”, for example) using the
storing procedure described in the preceding section, and press “1” in Step 10 of
that procedure to specify it as a Chain Dialling number (this tells the machine to wait
for the remainder of the telephone number when dialling).
2. Store the remaining 16 digits into a separate Speed Dial number (“02”, for example),
and this time press “2” in Step 10 of the storing procedure to specify that it is not a
Chain Dial number (this tells the machine that the final part of the number has been
dialed).
In this way, you specify all parts of the number except the last as a Chain Dial number.
Note: The maximum number of digits that can be dialed at one time by Chain Dialling
is 50.
