Resetting and Registering Handsets

If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you're using an automated response system, for example), press to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

When you reset a handset (or if you purchase a new one), that handset displays a Handset Not Registered message. If you see this message on a handset, you need to register it to a base before you can use it.
