• To enter a prefix before the telephone number to access an outside line, tap the Dial Prefix check box, and enter
the prefix. (For example, many offices require that you dial “9” to dial a number outside the building.)
• To turn off Call Waiting, tap the
Disable call waiting check box to select it, and enter the code to turn off Call
Waiting. (If you do not know the code, contact your local telephone company for the appropriate code.) Call Wait-

• To use a calling card to dial your ISP or dial-up service, tap the
Use Calling Card check box. On the Use Calling
Card line, enter three commas. (Each comma delays transmission of your calling card number for two seconds,
to compensate for the delay before the number is entered.) Enter your calling card number.
