• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 42).
SETTING THE DIALING MODE
Set PULSE/TONE 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 PULSE/TONE is set to
TONE.
2. Lift the handset, press TALK , 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 dial the access code either.
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 RINGERS

Turning the Ringers On or Off

You can turn the ringers on the base or
handset on or off.
Use RINGER OFF/ON on the base to turn
the ringer on the base on or off.
Use RINGER OFF/ON on the handset's
left side to turn the handset’s ringer on
or off.
Notes:
• The handset does not ring when it is
on the base, even when RINGER
OFF/ON is set to ON.
• If you turn off the ringer, you can still
make calls (and answer calls if you
hear another phone on the same
line ringing).
