Choosing the Dialing Mode (Handset 1 only)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone
dialing and 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'll need to change your phone's dial
mode. There's an easy way to tell: try making a call. If your call connects, your
phone's setting is fine. If not, follow the steps below:
3) Press the select/channel key to toggle and turn on Caller ID on Call Waiting.
4) Press the
end key and return the handset to the main base to complete the
setting. The handset returns to standby mode.
Entering Your Area Code
If you can make a call by dialing only 7 digits (instead of 10), you can program your
local area code in your phone. If you get a call from within your area code, you'll
only see the 7-digit phone number. If you get a call from outside your area code,
you'll see all 10 digits.
If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
the DTMF tones during
a call, you can tem-
porarily switch over to
tone dialing. (Refer to
"Tone Dialing Switch-
over" on page 20.)
To enable the setting
change of CIDCW or
Dialing Mode, you
need to return the
handset to the base
unit when you
complete the setting.
