referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can

bank account can be sent using DTMF tones.

/tone. Enter the desired number (like in the example above the bank
account number). These digits will be sent as tone dialing. This special number
can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. Once the call ends, the tone
mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
NOTE: The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
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.

clear operation. Interference can come from appliances or other phones in your home. This function
works only when the phone is in use.
During the course of a conversation, if you hear static or noise which makes it difficult to hear, press
