SETTING THE
DIALING MODE
Set
PULSE-TONE
on the back of the base for
the type of service you have. If you are not
sure which type you have, after you charge
the handset battery pack, do this simple test.
1. Set
PULSE-TONE
to
TONE
.
2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0.
Note: 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 number
either.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-
tone service. Leave
PULSE-TONE
set to
TONE
.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set
PULSE-TONE
to
PULSE
.
4. Press
TALK
or place the handset on the
base to hang up.
TURNING THE BASE’S
RINGER ON AND OFF
To turn off the base’s ringer, set

and the handset is in its cradle, the phone
does not ring. If the handset is not in the cra-
dle, the phone rings.
