D. Choose 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)Press and hold the flash key until you hear a confirmation tone in standby mode.

2)To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press the # key. Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press the /tone key. A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is complete.

NOTE: • Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial 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 DTMF tones for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing (Refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over”).
