Selecting a Different Channel
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually
change the phone’s channel for clear operation. Interference can come from
appliances or other phone in your home (see “Troubleshooting” on page 57).
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.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call
connects, press . 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 (See page 30). Once the call ends, the tone
mode is canceled and pulse dialing resumes.
