Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Phones can communicate with the telephone network in two ways: tone (DTMF) or pulse dialing. If you know your phone company uses pulse dialing or the test call for line 1 did not work, follow these steps:
1.With the phone in standby, press MENU.
2.Use UP or DOWN to highlight Global Setup, then press OK.
3.Your phone prompts you to select a line and Line 1 is highlighted. Press OK.
4.Use UP or DOWN to highlight Dial Mode, then press OK.
5.Highlight Pulse, then press OK. The phone sounds a confirmation tone. Try making another test call using line 1.
If your test call on line 2 did not connect, follow the same process, but in step 3, press DOWN to highlight Line 2, then press
OK.
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you're using an automated response system, for example), press to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
Attaching the Belt Clip
Line up the holes on each side of the handset. Insert the belt clip into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.
To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.
