SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Your phone is set for tone dialing. If you have
pulse service, you must change the dialing
mode. If you are not sure which type of
service you have, do this test.
Lift the handset, press
TALK
, and listen for a
dial tone. Press any number other than
0
. If
your phone system requires that you dial an
access code (
9
, for example) before you dial
an outside number, do not press the access
code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone
service. If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service.
To set the dial mode, press
TALK
to hang up
the phone if necessary, then hold down
FLASH
until the phone beeps. Then press

mode. The phone beeps.
Notes:
• The phone exits setting mode if a call or
page is received, or if you press
TALK
.
• If the battery pack power gets too low,
the dial mode might reset to tone. If you
are on a pulse line and cannot make a
call, try setting the dialing mode to
pulse.
