Recorder & Phone Setup
5. The Dialing Format screen appears after you have chosen a dial-in number. You
should use this screen to tell the recorder which dialing format to use. For example,
should the dial-in number be preceded by your area code and should a “1” precede the
area code? In some areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area code. Press
SELECT to return to the Phone Dialing Options screen.
6. To test your new dial-in number, select “Test Phone Connection Now.” The Test
Phone Connection screen appears and a test phone call begins. When the call
completes, you should see the message “Test Succeeded!” Press SELECT to return to
Phone Dialing Options. (If the phone call does not succeed, see troubleshooting on
page 132.)
Set Dial Prefix. You can use this screen to specify a prefix if the recorder needs to use one
to reach an outside line (for example, the recorder may need to dial “9” before it dials out).
Use the number keys on the remote control to enter the prefix. Press the PAUSE button
after you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma, which will create a two second
pause after the prefix is dialed. If you make a mistake, use the BACK button to backspace.
Set Call Waiting Prefix. If you have call waiting, you may choose to disable it while the
recorder is making a call, so that the recorder’s phone call is not interrupted. If you do not
disable it, the recorder may drop the call and allow the second call to ring through,
depending on your phone system. The recorder will then try its call again later. The most
common code that phone companies use to disable call waiting is *70. Sometimes a
comma is needed ( ,*70). Check with your phone company to find out how to disable call
waiting in your area. If you make a mistake, use the BACK button to backspace.
Set Tone/Pulse. If your phone system uses pulse dialing, rather than tone dialing, you can
change the setting here.
