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 entered using DTMF tones.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press

ttoonnee

on the base. Enter the desired number (like in 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 20). Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.

Radio inter ference 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 f or interference. Be cer tain that the ant enna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the unlikely event that y ou consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on y our phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interfe rence. If you cannot eliminate this type of inter ference, you need to change to a different c hannel. Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that ma y 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.

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motor s or fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is suff icient space to fully extend the base antenna.

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their ins tallation.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of installations require a modular jack converter.
