Dialing mode can only be changed from handset 1. To confirm which handset is HS1, look at the display indicating HS1 or

HS2.

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.)

2) Press the vol// key four times to select Language.
