Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Your phone uses tone dialing by default. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone’s dial mode.
1.Press Select/menu and select Global Setup (see p. 10 for using the menus).
2.Select Dial mode, then Pulse. You'll hear a confirmation tone.
To send DTMF tones during a call (e.g., for an automated response system), press 
to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When you hang up, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing.
