Inter-Tel INT1100 Cordless Telephone User Manual


 
[ 12 ] GETTING STARTED
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 has 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 in 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 21.)
