Combining quick-dial 
numbers8
You can combine more than one Quick-Dial 
number when you dial. This feature may be 
useful if you need to dial an access code for 
a cheaper rate from another long distance 
carrier.
For example, you might have stored ‘555
 ’ on 
Speed-Dial #003 and ‘7000
 ’ on Speed-Dial 
#002. You can use them both to dial 
‘555-7000
 ’ if you press the following keys:
Press  Search/Speed Dial , 003 . Press 
Search/Speed Dial , 002  and  Mono Start  or 
Colour Start .
Numbers can be added manually by entering 
them on the dial pad:
Press  Search/Speed Dial , 003 , 7001  (on the 
dial pad), and  Mono Start or Colour Start .
This would dial ‘555-7001
 ’. You can also add 
a pause by pressing the  Redial/Pause key.
Tone or pulse8
If you have a Pulse di alling service, but need 
to send Tone signals (for example, for 
telephone banking), follow the instructions 
below. If you have a Touch Tone service, you 
will not need this feature to send tone signals.
aLift the handset of the external 
telephone, and press  Tel/R.
bPress  # on the machine’s control panel. 
Any digits dialled after this will send tone 
signals.
When you hang up, the machine will 
return to the Pulse dialling service.
