SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set PULSE/TONE on the handset for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, follow these steps to perform

atest.

1.Lift the handset and set PULSE/TONE to TONE. When you hear the dial tone, 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.

# does not function when PULSE/TONE is set to PULSE.

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

TONE.

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

PULSE.

SETTING THE RINGER

To adjust the ringer volume, set each line’s RINGER to HI, LO or OFF. With the ringer off, you can still answer calls if you hear an ex- tension phone ring or see one of the phone’s LINE indicators flash.

TURNING OFF THE LINE 2 INDICATOR

If you want to install the phone as a one-line phone, you can turn off the LINE 2 indicator by removing the batteries for Line 2.

CHECKING THE LINE STATUS INDICATORS

You can check the status of each line by glancing at the line status indicator.

	parallel phone or line).

	is in use.

	ues flashing until ringing
	stops or the phone line is
	picked up).
