Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Your phone communicates with the telephone network in two ways: tone dialing
or pulse dialing. Most telephone companies use tone dialing. If your phone
company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode.
1. In standby, press and hold
Flash

for tone dialing.
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.
