Tone Dialing Switch-over
Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes referred to
as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone
dialing during the call. An example of this could be entering your bank account number after
you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be entered using DTMF tones.

During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you pass the
range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within 30 seconds.
