Setting the Area Code

If you enter a 3-digit area code number in the “Area Code” option, your local area code does not appear in the Caller ID message. For calls received from outside your local area code, you will see a full 10- digit number. Ô

2.Press the number keypad (0-9) to enter a 3-digit area code.

3.Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Setting the Dial Mode

Sets the dial mode to tone or pulse. Most phone systems use tone dialing; the default setting is tone dialing. Set the dialing mode to match the dialing system used by your local phone service.

•If you are not sure of your dialing system, set the unit to tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is; otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.

•If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may switch over to tone dialing (refer to “Tone Dialing Switch over” on page 28).

1.Press the MENU soft key. Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Dial Mode submenu.

2.Press VOL/RING/ or VOL/RING/ to select Tone or Pulse (the initial setting is Tone).

3.Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Ô NOTES Ô

•If your calling area requires 10-digit dialing, do not program this option.

•If the area code has already been stored in memory, the stored area code will be displayed. To change it, use the DELETE soft key and number keys to enter the new area code.
