this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.

Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most telephone companies use tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode.

1)From a handset, open the menu & select Global Setup.

2)Select Dial Mode, then select Pulse. The phone sounds a confirmation tone.

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.
