.

You cannot use Standard dial on an M7100 telephone unless you 
pick up the receiver first. If you have an M7100 telephone, use the 
Automatic dial or Pre-dial feature for on-hook dialing.

Automatic dial lets you dial a number without selecting a line. Your 
prime line is selected as soon as you start dialing a number. 

Automatic dial does not work if your telephone has no prime line or 
if your prime line is in use.

Telephones connected to an analog terminal adapter (ATA) cannot 
use Automatic dial.

Pre-dial lets you enter a telephone number, check it, then change it 
before actually making the call. The call is not dialed until you select 
a line or line pool, or pick up the receiver. You can pre-dial both 
external and internal numbers. You must, however, select the 
correct type of line (external or internal) for the type of number you 
have entered.

If your telephone starts ringing while you are 

pre-dialing a number, you can stop the ringing by 
turning on Do Not Disturb (

ƒ°fi

). This 

does not affect numbers you are entering.

You cannot pre-dial a telephone number if all the 
lines on your telephone are busy.
