Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Phones can communicate with the telephone network in two different
ways: tone (DTMF) or pulse dialing. If you know your phone company uses
pulse dialing or you can't make your test call, follow these steps:
With the phone in standby, press
seLeCT/meNu
.
Use
up
or
DOWN
to highlight
Global Setup
, then press
seLeCT/meNu
.
Use
up
or
DOWN
to highlight
Dial mode
, then press
seLeCT/meNu
.
Highlight
Pulse
, then press
seLeCT/meNu
. The phone sounds a
confirmation tone. Try making another test call.
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if
you're using an automated response system, for example), press to
temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone
automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
Set Up the Accessory Handset(s)
