If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave TONE/ PULSE set to TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set TONE/

PULSE to PULSE.

STORING AN AREA CODE

To quickly dial local calls using the Caller ID and stored number features, you need to store your local area code in the system. Then, when you dial a call using DIAL or DIAL 1+, the ET-545 skips the area code if it matches the one you stored.

Note: You must store your local area code or the phone will not dial more than 7 digits when you dial numbers from a Caller ID record.

Hold down FLASH/DEL for 3 seconds when the TALK key is not lit. The dis- play shows ENTER AREA CODE. En- ter your 3-digit area code. The phone sounds two long beeps.
