Working with the MC 218 38
Entering Phone Numbers
You can enter a telephone number to dial in a Data entry. You can set whether
a label is checked when the MC 218 looks for telephone numbers to dial.
To include a label in the search:
1. On the Tools menu, select Change labels, select the label and press the
Edit button.
2. Press the Options button and tick the box to make sure that the label is
searched when dialling. You can remove the tick if you do not want to
search a particular label, perhaps if it contains other numerical
information.
Note! If it appears that the MC 218 does not find a telephone number you
have entered in a Data entry, it may be that the label is not being searched.
Follow the instructions above to ensure that the label is included in the
search.
Note! You can enter a telephone number anywhere in an Calendar entry, but
try to avoid mixing telephone numbers and other numbers in the same entry.
For numbers in your own country, you should include the required area code
in the telephone number. For international numbers, you should include the
international prefix (or use a + instead) and the required national code. If you
do not know the national code for a particular country, you can look it up in
the Time program. You can use numerous other characters (e.g. brackets or a
hyphen) to separate parts of the number. Do not use a comma as this
represents a pause when dialling.
Dialling Phone Numbers
You can dial an already entered number.
To dial a number already entered in the Contacts program, or in a Data or
Calendar file:
1. Highlight the entry you want to dial from.
2. Press the Fn and Menu keys together. The MC 218 will find up to five
numbers in each Data entry.
3. Select the number you want to dial, and hold the MC 218 loudspeaker near
to the telephone mouthpiece, approximately 2 inches (5 cm) away.
• Press the Dial button to dial the number.
• If you wish to use the dial out code, press the Dial out button to dial
the number preceded by the dial out code.
• You can change the number if it is not correct.
• If you need to dial additional digits, press the Free input button to
make the MC 218 dial the DTMF codes as you type each number.
To dial using free input dialling:
• Press the Ctrl key with the Fn and Menu keys, then dial the number in the
‘Free input’ dialog. You can use the digits 0...9, *, and #. Press the Redial
button to redial the number if necessary.
