6 Dialer Installation & User’s Guide
digits you've dialed. When the dialer finishes dialing, it waits
passively on the phone line for you to start another call.
Some calls, such as some local calls, should not be routed.
The dialer typically lets the digits dialed for these calls go
directly to the central telephone office.
When you dial international calls, the dialer will dial after
you've stopped dialing for about 3 seconds. The dialer does
this because international phone numbers vary in length, so
it's hard for the dialer to tell when you've finished dialing all
the required digits. To avoid the 3 second delay, you can
simply press # after you have dialed the last digit of the phone
number. As soon as the dialer hears the #, it dials.
The dialer needs to generate fairly loud tones, so you may
want to hold the dialer away from your ear when it's dialing.
You should also be aware that your off-hook phone puts room
noises into the dialer's circuitry, which can make it harder for
the dialer to hear voice prompts. If you are in a noisy room, or
if you need to speak to someone, you can overcome this
problem by putting your hand over the phone's mouthpiece
when the dialer is dialing.
