3-1. System Options (from HS1 only)
These options can only be changed from handset 1 (HS1). After changing these settings, you must put HS 1 back in the base cradle to activate them.
Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing.
If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone’s dial settings. If you don't get a dial tone or can't connect to the telephone network, follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
1)Make sure you have Handset 1 (HS 1).
2)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
3)Press [
] to move the pointer to DIAL.
4)Press [select/channel] to set the phone to pulse dialing.
5)Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. Handset 1 communicates the new setting to the base, and the base activates the setting on any other handsets.
Note: 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 [
/tone/
] to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
Activating Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW)
You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local telephone provider to use this feature. Caller ID allows you to see the name and number of the calling party before you answer the phone. Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) lets you see the name and number of a call that comes in when you are on the line.
1)Make sure you have Handset 1 (HS 1).
2)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
3)Press [
] to move the pointer to CIDCW.
4)Press [select/channel] to toggle and turn on Caller ID on Call Waiting.
5)Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. Handset 1 communicates the new setting to the base, and the base activates the setting on any other handsets.
3-2. Handset-specific Options
These options can be set differently on each handset. You can also set these options while another handset is using the phone.
Setting the display language (LANGUAGE)
The handset menus can use English (ENG, default), French (FR.) or Spanish (ESP).
1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2)Press [
] to move the pointer to LANGUAGE.
3)Press [select/channel] to select ENG, FR. or ESP.
4)When the display shows the language you want, use [
] and [
] to move the pointer to another menu item.
OR
If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
Activating AutoTalk (AUTO TALK)
With Auto Talk, you can answer the phone just by picking up the handset from the cradle: you don’t have to press any keys. If the handset is already off the cradle, Auto Talk also lets you answer by pressing any key on the twelve-key dial pad (instead of just [TALK/flash]).
1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2)Press [
] to move the pointer to AUTO TALK.

Setting the ringer tone (RINGER)
You can set the ring tone separately for each handset.
1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2)Press [select/channel] to rotate through the four available ring tones (A, B, C, and D). As you switch to the next ring tone, the handset sounds a sample of that ringer.
3)When you hear the ringer you want, use [
] and [
] to move the pointer to another menu item.
OR
If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
The handset will use the new ring tone starting with the next incoming call.
Setting the handset ringer volume (RING.VOL.)
You can choose from three ringer volume settings separately for each handset. To turn the ringer off, select
RINGER OFF.
1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2)Press [
] to move the pointer to RING VOL.
3)Press [select/channel] to rotate through the three available volume levels (HIGH, LOW, and OFF). As you switch to the next volume level, the handset sounds a sample of the current ring tone at that level.
4)When you hear the volume level you want, use [
] and [
] to move the pointer to another menu item.
OR
If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
The handset will use the new ringer volume starting with the next incoming call.
