DD.. CChhoooossee tthhee ddiiaalliinngg mmooddee
Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:
1)Press and hold
ffllaasshh
until you hear a confirmation tone.
2)To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press
##
.
Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press
*
/
ttoonnee
.
A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is complete.
If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
If your phone dialing system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF
tones for certain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 13.)
Modular
Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.
5)Connect the telephone line cord to the
TTEELL LLIINNEE
jack and a telephone outlet once the handset is fully charged.
After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least

If you dont have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:
Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive lengths.
Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.
Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
1)Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their
appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.
2)Set the retainer clip if necessary.
3)Refer to steps 1 through 8 on pages 9 and 10 to mount
the telephone.
7)Raise the antenna to a vertical position.
8)Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Then
push in and down until the phone is f irmly seated.

The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.
Tone Dialing Switch-over
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
*
/
ttoonnee
. 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 17.). 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.

However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.
RRaaddiioo IInntteerrffeerreennccee Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your

home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that rise the antenna to a vertical position when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter ference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

CCoorrddlleessss TTeelleepphhoonnee PPrriivvaaccyy Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcasted over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.
