You might change two handset-specic options --ringer type and ringer volume -- and one base setting –
ringer volume --more often, depending on the situation. There’s another option, area code, that you should only
set if you can use seven-digit dialing (see section 5-3 on Using Seven Digits Instead of Ten).
3-1. System Options (from HS1 only)
These options can only be changed from handset 1 (HS1). After changing these settings, you must put HS 1
back in the base cradle to activate them.
Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two dierent 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:
Make sure you have Handset 1 (HS 1).
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. Handset 1 communicates the new setting to the
base, and the base activates the setting on any other handsets.
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.
Activating Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW)
You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local telephone provider to use this feature.
Caller ID allows you to see the name and number of the calling party before you answer the phone. Caller ID on
Call Waiting (CIDCW) lets you see the name and number of a call that comes in when you are on the line.
Make sure you have Handset 1 (HS 1).
With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
Press [ ] to move the pointer to CIDCW.
Press [select/channel] to toggle and turn on Caller ID on Call Waiting.
Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. Handset 1 communicates the new setting to the
base, and the base activates the setting on any other handsets.
3-2. Handset-specic Options
These options can be set dierently on each handset. You can also set these options while another handset is
using the phone.
Setting the display language (LANGUAGE)
The handset menus can use English (ENG, default), French (FR) or Spanish (ESP).
With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
Press [ ] to move the pointer to LANGUAGE.
Press [select/channel] to select ENG, FR. or ESP.
When the display shows the language you want, use [ / ] and [ ] to move the pointer to another
menu item.
OR
If you’re nished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
Note: To change the language used by the answering system, see Section 7-1 on Setting Up the Answering
System.
