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 don’t get a dial tone or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

1.Press MENU/CLEAR. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.

2.Scroll to select PULSE.

3.Press SELECT/. You will hear a conﬁrmation tone.

If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.

Selecting a Language

Your phone supports three languages: English, French and Spanish. Once you select a language, the menus on the handset will display in that language. The default language is English.

1.Press MENU/CLEAR. Select the HANDSET SETUP menu, and then the Language submenu.
