Adjusting the Ringer and Earpiece Volume
Ringer tone

Earpiece volume
The handset earpiece volume settings (Low, Medium and High) can only be adjusted during a call. Press v repeatedly to select Low, Medium and High. When you hang up, the phone keeps the last volume setting selected.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press */tone. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone
dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
NOTE: The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
