7.1 Making Phone Calls with FRITZ!fon
FRITZ!fon allows you to use your PC as a telephone. You can
record phone numbers in a Quick-Dial list, select numbers to
call from your FRITZ! Address Book, and compose a dialing
list.
Testing the Sound Card
The first time the program is started, a test program starts
automatically to check whether the connected sound card is
working correctly. Speak into your microphone. If you can
hear yourself over the speakers or earphones, your sound
card is suitable for operation with FRITZ!fon. This test can al-
so be performed at any time by selecting the menu com-
mand “Fon / Test Sound Card”.
Make sure that the microphone and headset or the speakers
are connected to your sound card correctly. For more infor-
mation, see the manual of your sound card.
Using Several Sound Cards
FRITZ!fon can be used with any sound cards installed in a
computer. Specify which of your sound cards is to be used in
the settings on the “FRITZ!fon” page.
How to Make a Call
If you have already entered the telephone number you want
to call in the FRITZ! Address Book, click the “Address Book”
tab at the right in the FRITZ!fon window. A selection from the
Address Book appears containing all records which have an
entry in the “FRITZ!fon” field. Select a number by double-
clicking on it in the list. FRITZ!fon dials the number immedi-
ately.
Alternatively, enter the telephone number manually in the
line under “Number”. Click the “Dial” button to begin dial-
ing.
