SETTING THE DIALING MODE
Set DIAL MODE on the back of the base for
the type of service you have. If you are not
sure which type you have, once the battery
pack is fully charged, do this test.
1. Be sure DIAL MODE is set to T (tone).
2. Lift the handset, press TALK, and listen
for a dial tone.
3. Press any number except 0.
Note: If your phone system requires that
you dial an access code (9, for example)
before you dial an outside number, do
not press the access code number
either.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone
service. Leave DIAL MODE set to T.
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse
service. Set DIAL MODE to P (pulse).
SETTING THE RINGER TONE/VOLUME
You can select one of four different ringer
tone/volume settings on the handset. At any
time, except during a call, repeatedly press
VOL/CID 8 or 9 to select the desired ringer
setting. Each time you press a button, the
phone rings at the selected setting and the
display shows Ringer A High, Ringer A

Low, Ringer B High, or Ringer B Low.

Note: Pressing VOL/CID 8

site arrow key to change the setting.
To set the base’s ringer volume, set RING
VOL
on the back of the base to OFF, LO, or HI.
Notes:
• When you set RING VOL to OFF, the
base (and the handset if it is on the
base) does not ring but another phone
connected to the same line rings. If the
handset is away from the base, the
handset also rings.
• When you set the auto talk function to
off, the handset rings when you lift the
handset from the base. See “Turning
Auto Talk On/Off.”
TURNING AUTO TALK ON/OFF
Your phone is preset so you must press
TALK when you lift the handset from the base
to answer a call. With auto talk turned on,
you can answer a call by just lifting the hand-
set from the base. If the handset is away
from the base, you can answer by pressing
any key.
Follow these steps to turn auto talk on or off.
1. Lift the handset and hold down CALL ID.
A menu appears with Auto Talk
selected.
2. Press CH/SELECT to change the auto
talk setting. On or Off appears indicat-
ing the selected setting.
Return the handset to the base or press
CALL ID to store the new setting.
