Dialer Installation & User’s Guide 7
A.
If you need to dial a prefix like
8
before dialing a phone
number
In some offices and in very few homes, you need to dial a
prefix such as 8 before dialing someone's phone number.
Your service provider can program your dialer for this
situation during the first dialer download. In the unlikely
event that you want to take care of this situation, here's
how.
1.
Pick up any phone that is connected to the same
phone line as the dialer.
2.
Dial
# * 6 x x x # #
where x x x are up to three digits you must dial to get
an outside line.
For example, if you must dial an 8 to access an
outside line, program your dialer by taking a phone
off-hook and dialing
# * 6 8 # #
If you no longer want the dialer to dial a prefix, take a
phone off-hook and dial
# * 6 # #
B.
If you have a fax machine on the same phone line as the
dialer
When fax machines make a call, they put out special
tones called CNG tones that can distort the dialer's tones
and cause misdialing. If you have this problem, one good
solution is to prefix numbers dialed from your fax
machine by
* * *
. For instance, assume you want to dial
1-212-222-2222
from a fax machine using this
command. Just come off-hook and dial:
* * * 1-212-222-2222
The prefix tells the dialer to use its special handling of
CNG tones. This special handling is only active for this
one call.
