BASICS
The tone feature only
applies when the dial
mode is set to pulse.
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 sent 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 26). Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and
pulse dialing mode resumes.

Traveling Out-of-Range
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.

the phone´s channel for 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 . “
Scanning” appears on the display,
indicating the phone is changing to another channel. For more information on
interference, refer to “Technical Information” on page 45.
