VII. OPERATION
DialMate counts the number of rings of each incoming call. When it is
programmed in the
Three-Way Switching Mode
(see Program E), DialMate
performs one of the following functions:
CALL BACK
This function allows you to use your home/office phone line to make calls from
another phone,
yet all the calls are charged at the rates of the line on
which the unit is installed
.
This is also very useful for cellular phones with free
air time on incoming calls. If DialMate detects one or two rings (and only one or
two) on the phone line, it will call the programmed call back number.
Things to do before using Call Back:
program DialMate with your security code (PIN)
program DialMate with a call back number (e.g., your hotel phone, a
friend’s house or your cell phone)
record a voice message (e.g., telling an operator to connect to your room
or extension), if DialMate has to call back to an operator-assisted location
leave DialMate powered up and connected to the phone line
set any fax or answering machine sharing DialMate’s phone line to answer
after five rings or more
