D. Choose the dialing mode
Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.
However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default
setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press
menu/mute
.
2) Press
+
or
-
to move the pointer to “
Dial Mode
”.
3) Press
select/ch
and the display will show the current setting.
(The initial setting is Tone.)
4) Press
+
or
-
to change the selection.
5) Press
select/ch
, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
6) Press
end
to exit.
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the
terminology explanation.
Standby Mode
- The handset is not in use, is off the base, and
talk/flash
or
spkr
have not
been pressed. A dial tone is not present.
Talk Mode
- The handset is not in the base and
talk/flash
or
spkr
has been pressed
enabling a dial tone. “
Talk
” appears on the display.
Terminology
• If you are not sure of
your dialing system, set
the unit to tone dialing.
Make a trial call. If the
call connects, leave the
setting as is, otherwise
set the unit to pulse
dialing.
• If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
DTMF tones in certain
situations during a call,
you may “switch-over”
to tone dialing. (Refer
to “Tone Dialing Switch-
over” on page 22.)
