D. Choose the dialing mode

lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The

follows:
1) Press and hold

until you hear a confirmation tone.
The current setting appears next to Dial Mode.
2) To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press

Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press

setting is complete.

If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call. If
the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
•
If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF tones
for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing. (Refer
to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 17.)

pack is fully charged
before choosing the
dial mode.
