•Make sure your bat- tery pack is fully charged before choos- ing the dial mode.

•Dialing mode can only be changed from handset 1.

To confirm which handset is HS1, look at the display indicating “HS1” or “HS2”.

Choosing the dialing mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:

1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press and hold cid/menu. The following screen appears.

2) Press 4 or press three times to select ¨Dial¨.

3) Press select/channel to toggle between ¨Tone¨ and ¨Pulse¨ for each setting.

4)Press end and return the handset to the main base unit. The handset returns to the standby mode.

• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.

•If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF tones for certain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 21.)
