Phone System Setup

You must also set up the receiver for your telephone system (touch tone or rotary). If you need a prefix to make an outside call, set a telephone number prefix.

1Press MENU on the remote control, then select System Setup, Installation, and then Phone System.

2Select the Touch Tone or Rotary Phone option in the Phone Type list.

3Select the Prefix Code option under Outside Line if you need to dial a prefix to make outside calls. Otherwise, leave this setting on No Prefix.

Note: Usually, you need a telephone number prefix only for business installations. For most residential installations, all you need to do is set the telephone system type. The default setting of No Prefix will allow correct dialing. If this is the case, select the Save option to save the above setting, and stop here. If you do need to set a prefix, then instead of selecting the Save option, go on to step 5.

4If you selected No Prefix, select Done.

5If you selected Prefix Code, the receiver highlights the box where you must enter the exact sequence you dial to reach an outside line.

6Select Done.
