TONE DIALING SWITCH OVER
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch- over to tone dialing during the call. This feature is useful when you need tone dialing to use automated systems, for example, entering your bank account number after you have called your bank. Ô
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. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.

Privacy mode prevents interruption from another handset. This works only when the phone is in use.
While on a call, press the MENU soft key on the handset. use CID/VOL/ 
or REDIAL/P/ 
to select Privacy Mode, and then the OK soft key.
