Dial Mode
Slide TONE/PULSE to the setting for the type of dialing service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, do this simple test.
1.Slide TONE/PULSE to TONE. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.
2.Press any number except 0. (If your setup requires that you dial an access code, usually 9, before you dial an outside number, do not press the access code number.)
•If the dial tone stops, you have touchtone service. Keep the switch on TONE.
•If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set the switch to PULSE.
Using Special Tone Services
Some computer services require tone signals for communications. If you have pulse service, you can still simulate tone signals by following these steps.
1.Connect to the special service using pulse dialing.
2.When the special service answers, press * to temporarily switch to tone dialing.
3.When you complete the call, hang up to change the setting back to PULSE.
Master/Secondary Setting
For modern phones systems, slide M/S to M.
nNotes:
•If you have other phones with a Master/Secondary switch, set them to S. Set one system to answer and set the others to off.
•If M is not set on at least one phone, incoming calls might be disconnected.
