Changing the dial mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

1)Press MENU/SELECT.

) Select the Global Setup menu, and then the Dial Mode submenu.

3)Scroll to highlight Pulse.

4)Press MENU/SELECT. You will hear a confirmation tone.

If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select Tone in step 3.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE YOUR PHONE!
