Changing the Dial Mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. Nowadays, 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 cannot connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
From the Handset
1.Press the MENU soft key.
2.Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.
3.Move the cursor to select PULSE. (The default setting is TONE.)
4.Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.
From the Base
1.Press MENU/SELECT.
2.Select the SYSTEM SETUP menu.
3.Select the GLOBAL submenu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu.
4.Move the cursor to select PULSE. (The default setting is TONE.)
5.Press MENU/SELECT or the SELECT soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to NOTE tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select
TONE after you enter the DIAL MODE submenu.
