Dialing and phone options Access codes and credit card numbers Sometimes you may want to choose from several long distance carriers when you make a call. Rates may vary depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance carriers and credit card numbers as One-Touch and Speed-Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up on separate One-Touch and Speed Dial numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad. (See Storing One-Touch Dial numbers on page 7-3 and Storing Speed-Dial numbers on page 7-4.) For example, perhaps you have stored '555' on One-Touch key 1 and '7000' on One-Touch key 2. If you press One-Touch key 1, One-Touch key 2, and Black Start or Color Start, you will dial '555-7000'. To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number with manual dialing using the dial pad. For example, to change the number to 555-7001 you could press One-Touch key 1 and then press 7001 using the dial pad. Tone or Pulse If you have a Pulse dialing service, but need to send Tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals. 1 Lift the handset of the external phone and press Hook or the machine's control panel. 2 Press # on the machine's control panel. Any digits dialed after this will send tone signals. When you hang up, the machine will return to the Pulse dialing service. Phone line services Your machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID subscriber telephone services that some telephone companies offer. Note ■ If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom features on your telephone line, it may affect the way your machine works. (See Custom features on page 1-6 and Custom features on a single line. on page C-12.) ■ If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully. Distinctive Ring 7 Brother uses the term 'Distinctive Ring' but different telephone companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring. What does your telephone company's 'Distinctive Ring' do? Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service allows you to have more than one number on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an extra line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine. Note Please call your telephone company for availability and rates. 7 - 6
