Specifications
Important The MessagePad’s dialing feature does not
work with all phones. Some phones, such as PBX phones, do
not recognize the tones that come out of the MessagePad’s
speaker.
Tip: You can include letters in a phone number (for
example, 1-800-SOS-APPL), but only capital letters will be
interpreted as numbers. When you dial the phone or
send a fax, your MessagePad uses the phone pad numbers
corresponding to the letters you enter. However, the letters
Q and Z do not appear on the phone pad and will not dial
any corresponding number if they are entered.
To have the MessagePad place a call
1 Initiate the call. There are several ways to place a call:
m In the Overview, tap a phone number.
m In the Card or All Info view, tap the Phone button q.

Drawer to make calls.
Warning If you connect your modem to a digital telephone
line, it may damage the modem or your MessagePad.
Important Because of local telephone regulations, tone
dialing through the MessagePad speaker may not be
available in some countries.
The MessagePad can look up phone numbers in the Name
File and dial them for you, using the speaker or an optional
modem. When you enter phone numbers (for example, in
the Name File), always include the area code. Based on the
information in Time Zones and Owner Info, your
MessagePad will decide whether to dial an area code and
whether to include prefixes and calling card numbers.
For more information, see the chapter “Managing and Using
Items in the Extras Drawer.”
