Testing the Connection
There’s an easy way to test your connection: try making a call from your base. If your call connects, your phone’s settings are fine. If your call does not connect:
1)Check the AC adapter cord. Make sure it is securely connected to the DC IN 9V connector and to a standard AC power outlet.
2)Change Dial Mode (Instructions below).
Changing the Dial Mode
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 will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you cannot connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
1) Press [clock/menu] on the base.
2) Press [cid select/
] to move the pointer to select DIAL MODE, and then press 0 [set].
3)Press [cid select/
] or [cid select/
] to select TONE or PULSE (the initial setting is TONE).
4)Press [set]. You will hear a confirmation tone.
