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, do this test.

1.Set DIAL MODE to T.

2.Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.

3.Press any number other than 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 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.

SETTING THE RINGER TONE/VOLUME

You can select one of four different ringer tone/volume settings while the phone is not in use.

1.Press VOLUME. The ET-917 sounds the current ringer tone.

2.Repeatedly press VOLUME until you hear the desired ringer set- ting.

Each time you press VOLUME, the ringer changes in this order:

High-volume, high-pitch

Low-volume, high-pitch

High-volume, low-pitch

Low-volume, low-pitch
