Choosing the dialing mode
Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone
lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The
default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as
follows:
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press and hold
cid/menu. The following screen appears.
2) Press 4 or press three times to select ¨
Dial¨.
3) Press select/channel to toggle between ¨
Tone¨ and ¨Pulse¨
for each setting.
4) Press end and return the handset to the main base unit. The handset returns to
the standby mode.
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.
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. (Refer to "Tone
Dialing Switch-over" on page 21.)
Dialing mode can
only be changed from
handset 1.
To confirm which
handset is HS1, look
at the display
indicating “HS1” or
HS2”.
Make sure your bat-
tery pack is fully
charged before choos-
ing the dial mode.
