2 To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press . Or to set the dial

mode for tone dialing, press . 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 system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF tones for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing (refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 32).

Direct wall mounting

If you don't 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 cord 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.
