The tel mode switch selects tone or pulse dialling and earth or time break recall:

•T-TB– Your Freestyle 130 is preset to this position. Most modern exchanges use tone dialling and time break recall for faster dialling, and for services such as BT Select Services and telephone banking.

•T-E– This setting is for use if you are connected to a tone dialling PBX (private branch exchange) that uses earth recall.

•P-E– If you dial a number when your Freestyle 130 is set to T-TBor T-Eand you continue to hear the dialling tone, you may be connected to an older pulse dialling exchange. Set the switch to P-E(pulse dialling).

To switch from Pulse to Tone dialling during a call

If you are connected to a pulse dialling exchange, you can still use services such as phone banking that require tone dialling.

•Call the telephone number you require in pulse mode as usual.

•When you have been connected, press the ✱ button on the keypad to set your telephone to tone dialling for the duration of the call.

•When you hang up, your Freestyle 130 will automatically switch back to pulse dialling.
