phone, require tone signals. If you have pulse
service, you can still use these special tone
services by following these steps.
1. Dial the service’s main number.
2. When the service answers, press

are sent as tone signals.
3. After you complete the call, return the
handset to the base or press
TALK

phone automatically resets to the pulse
mode.
Using Page/Find
To page the person who has the handset or to
locate the handset when the phone is not in
use, press

than 2 seconds. The handset beeps for about
15 seconds. To sound the beep longer, press
PAGE/FIND
more than two seconds: the hand-
set beeps for one minute. If you still cannot lo-
cate the handset, release
PAGE/FIND
once
and press it again for another one minute
beep.
