Tone Dialing Switch-over
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires 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. For example, entering your bank account number
after you have called your bank.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your
call connects, press /tone. Enter the desired number. These
digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone
mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.
• The tone feature only
applies when the dial
mode is set to pulse.
• This special number can
be stored in a memory
location. This is referred
to as Chain Dialing. (See
page 35.)

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.

phone’s channel for clear operation. This function works only when the phone is in use.
Press select/ch. “
Scanning” appears on the display, indicating the phone is changing
to another channel. For more information on interference, refer to “Radio Interference”
on page 52.
