Telephone operation

Temporary tone dialing

The dial mode is preset to tone. If you do not have touch tone service, you need to change the setting to pulse (page 13 and 18).

If you have pulse (rotary) service, you can change from pulse to tone dialing during a call by pressing TONE on the handset or telephone

base. This is useful if you need to send touch tone signals to access telephone banking or long

distance services.

Once you have initiated your call by dialing the

phone number in pulse (rotary), press TONE on the handset or telephone base. Now, all

subsequent key presses will be sent as touch tone signals.

After you hang up the call, the phone returns to pulse (rotary) dialing for the next call.
