If you cannot connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

1.Press [menu/clear]. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.

.Scroll [] to select PULSE. (The initial setting is TONE).

3.Press . You hear a confirmation tone.

If you need to change the dial mode back to Tone, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.
