PREPARATION
SETTING THE RINGER SWITCH
The ringer switch controls the volume of the phone’s ring. Set the switch to HIGH in a noisy room (such as a kitch- en) or to LOW in a quiet room (such as a bedroom).
If you do not want the ringer to sound, set RINGER to OFF. You can still make calls, and you can answer calls if you hear another phone on the same phone line ring.
SETTING THE DIALING MODE
Set TONE/PULSE for the type of service you have, either tone or pulse (rotary). If you are not sure which type you have, do this simple test.
1.Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.
2.Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.
3.Press any number except 0. If the dial tone stops, you have touch- tone service. If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service.
4.If you have pulse service, set
TONE/PULSE to PULSE.
