Tone Dialing Switch-over
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch- over to tone dialing during the call. For example, entering your bank
account number after you have called your bank.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press *tone. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
Traveling Out-of-Range
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within 30 seconds.
Selecting a Different Channel
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the phone’s channel for clear operation. This function works only when the phone is in use.
Press select/ch. “Scanning” appears on the display, indicating the phone is changing to another channel. For more information on interference, refer to “Radio Interference” on page 50.
•The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
•This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 33.)
