CHOOSING THE DIALING MODE
Most phone systems use tone dialing which
sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.
However, some phone systems (such as those in
rural areas) still use pulse dialing. The default
setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing
system, set the mode as follows:
Ô
Dialing mode switch is next to the DC IN 9V jack
at the top of the base. Place the switch in the
TONE position for tone dialing, or the PULSE
position for pulse dialing.
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.
Ô NOTES Ô
Make sure your battery
pack is fully charged
before choosing the
dialing mode.
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.

Switch-over” on
