Tonal Signals
Some organizations offer you special services by telephone, which you can
access by transmitting Touch Tone or DTMF tones. If your phone service provides
only pulse dialing, or if you are calling over a digital network, the ability to
generate Tonal Signals will allow you to access these services.
First, dial the other party. When you are through to the other end, press the Tone
key and enter the code number that is needed to access the required feature at
the other terminal.
You do not need to press the Tone key if your machine is set up for dialing in Tone
Dial (DTMF) mode.
Before you can use this feature, you must program one of the User Function Keys
as the Tone key. See page 163 for how to do this. In the following procedure,
suppose that we have already programmed the F1 key as a Tone key.
1. Make sure that the machine is in standby mode, and that there is no
document in the feeder.
2. Pick up the telephone handset, or press On Hook Dial .
3. Dial the remote facility. Do not press Start .
4. After your line is connected to the remote facility, do the following:
❐ If your telephone line type is DTMF (Tone Dial): Go to step 5.
❐ If your telephone line type is Pulse Dial: Press F1 . A dot appears on the
display.
5. Input the digits that you need to use the remote facility. These digits will
depend on the remote facility.
Note: Do not press Start .
6. After you have finished your business with the remote facility, hang up.
