Sheet
Note: For optimum battery life, charge your handset completely before you connect the telephone
cord. The first time you charge a new battery, allow 15 to 20 hours.
1-4. Connect the Telephone Cord
Note: If the telephone cord does not fit into your telephone wall jack, contact your local phone provider for
assistance.
If you receive high-speed internet service through your
telephone line (referred to as DSL), you should install
a DSL filter between the telephone base and the wall
jack. Standard telephones often can’t operate correctly
without a DSL filter.
Testing the connection
12
Make a quick test call, and then press
[END]
to hang up.
What if the call doesn't go through?
Try changing the dial mode (see below).
What if there is a lot of static?
Check the sources of interference described in section
1-1 on Choosing the best location: is the base near
any of those?
Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing.
These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone
dialing.
If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone’s dial settings. If you don't get a dial
tone or can't connect to the telephone network, follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
With the phone in standby, press and hold
[cid/menu]
.
Press
[ ]
to move the pointer to DIAL.
Press
[select/channel]
to set the phone to pulse dialing.
Press
[END]
and
put the handset back in the base
. The handset communicates the new setting to the
base.
Note: 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
[ /tone/ ]
to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call
ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
Now your phone is ready to use!
