Making a Call
You can use your machine to make voice telephone calls, by dialling manually or by using One
Touch or Speed Dial memory. You can use the handset or if you have the FAX-T86 you can use the
Speakerphone to make and receive calls. For more details, see “Dialling a Number” on page 22.
The “full-duplex” digital Speakerphone allows you to operate the phone hands free, or allows more
than one person in the room to participate in a two-way phone conversation. When using the
Speakerphone, make sure that you speak clearly. If the other party has difficulty hearing you, move
closer to the microphone.
On Hook Dialling

Dial the number by using the dial pad or Quick-Dial keys.
The number you are dialling, or the name you have stored for One Touch or Speed Dial is
displayed on the LCD.

For FAX-T84 press Start and pick up the handset when you hear the call answered on the monitor
speaker. If you press Tel before lifting the handset, the call will be disconnected.
Replace the
handset to finish the call.
For the FAX-T86, press Start, and when the call is answered, you can now speak to the party at
the other end without lifting the handset. Press Speaker Phone when you finish the
conversation.

you press Redial/Pause, a dash “-” will appear on the display. By storing a pause, you can create
a delay of 3.5 seconds.

tone signals.
