Note: If the telephone cord does not t into your telephone wall jack, contact your local phone provider for
assistance.

Testing the connection
Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two dierent ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing.
These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone
dialing.
If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone’s dial settings. If you don't get a dial
tone or can't connect to the telephone network, follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
1)
Press [ ] to move the pointer to DIAL.
2)
Press [select/channel] to set the phone to pulse dialing.
3)
Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. The handset communicates the new setting to the
4)
base.
Note: 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 [ /tone/ ] to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call
ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
Now your phone is ready to use!
