Choosing the Dialing Mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing and pulse dialing. These days, most telephone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing by default.
If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you'll need to change your phone's dial mode. There's an easy way to tell: try making a call. If your call connects, your phone's setting is fine. If not, you may need to change the dial mode.
To change the dial mode:
1) When the phone is in standby, press and hold [cid/menu]. The following screen appears.
2) Press [
] to move the pointer to select DIAL.
3) Press [select] to set the phone to pulse dialing.
4) Press [end] or return the handset to the base unit to complete the setting. The handset returns to standby.
Note: If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF tones during a call, you can temporarily switch over to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing
