When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
This unit is NOT waterproof. DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
Do not place the handset in any charging cradle without the battery installed and the battery cover securely in place.

Test any accessory handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial tone or the handset display says Unavailable, try moving the handset closer to the base or resetting it (see page 44).
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.When your phone prompts you to select a line, press Line1.
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 press Line2 in step 3.
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.
If the key name is spelled out on the key itself, it's not labeled in the drawing below.

The description of the soft key's current function appears in the bottom of the display directly above the corresponding key.

If the description for a soft key is blank, that key doesn't currently have a function.
Sometimes, the current function of a soft key can duplicate the function of a regular key. If this happens, you can press either key.
When this manual refers to a soft key, it uses the soft key's description printed on a black background.
Common soft key descriptions
The table below lists some soft key descriptions that the phone uses across several menus or operations. These are not all the soft key descriptions, but these are probably the ones you'll see most often.
