Dialing through a switchboard
A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is an on-site telephone switchboard. If your machine is
connected through a PBX or other telephone switching system, you will need to dial the
outside line access number first, and then the number of the party you are calling.
Switching temporarily to tone dialing
Many information services for banks, airline reservations, hotel reservations, etc. require tone
dialing for their services. If your machine is connected to a rotary pulse line, follow this
procedure to set the machine temporarily for tone dialing:
1 Press [Fax].
2 Press [Hook] or lift the handset if you have connected a telephone to
your machine.
3 Use the numeric keys to dial the number of the information service.
4 When the recorded message of the information service answers, press
[Tone] ([T]) to switch to tone dialing.
•If you pressed [Hook] in step 2, you can pick up the handset if you need to talk
to the other party.
5 Use the numeric keys to enter the numbers requested by the
information service.
6 When you have finished, press [Hook] or hang up the handset.
