dialling.

Long-distance dialling
When you register a long-distance number, you may have to insert a pause within or after the number. For
long-distance dialling, the location and length of the pause may differ depending on the telephone system.
To enter a pause, press [Redial/Pause]. The length of this pause can be adjusted. See MID PAUSE SET,
p. 8-4. A pause at the end of a number is fixed at 10 seconds.

Confirming a dial tone
The availability of this feature depends on the current country selection. You can print the USER DATA
LIST to check the current setting. (see p. 8-7)
When you register a number, you may have to confirm the dial tone in the middle of a fax/telephone number
before entering the rest of the number. This is called dial tone detection. When dial tone detection is
required, press [D.T.]; a small dot (.) appears on the LCD*.
KK
Switching temporarily to tone dialling
Many information services for banks, airline reservations, hotel reservations, etc., require tone dialling for
their services. If your fax is connected to a rotary pulse line, when tone dialling is required, press [Tone/+].
Numbers dialled after pressing [Tone/+] will be dialled using tone dialling. Tone dialling is cancelled when
you disconnect the call.
* This function is only available with some country settings.
