About the Postage by Phone System
The Postage by Phone System allows you to obtain postage funds 
for your DM300c/DM400c series without leaving your office - all you 
need is an analogue phone line.
How does the system operate?
The system consists of a central computer situated in our Data 
Centre which holds details of the funds available in your Postage by 
Phone account. Your DM300c/DM400c series communicates with 
the Data Centre over the telephone line and transfers funds from 
your Postage by Phone account into your meter.
When can I refill my meter or check my account balance?
In the Republic of Ireland and the UK auto-refill using the meter's 
modem is available from 7:00am to 8:00pm Monday to Saturday, 
including Bank Holidays.
Preparing to Refill with Postage
Adding postage funds to your system by modem is fast, easy and 
convenient. Your system must be connected to an analogue phone 
line as described below. 
Important: For printing postage, the DM300c/DM400c series 
does not have to be connected to a phone line. However if you 
add funds frequently, we recommend you keep the meter connected 
to an analogue phone line.
