D. Choose the dialing mode
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) When the phone is in the standby mode, press
MENU/MUTE.
2) Press
UP or DOWN to move the pointer to “Dial Mode”.
3) Press
SELECT/CH and the display will show the current setting.
(The initial setting is Tone.)
4) Press
UP or DOWN to change the selection.
5) Press
SELECT/CH, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
6) Press
END to exit.
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the
terminology explanation.
Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off the base, and
TALK/FLASH has not been
pressed. A dial tone is not present.
Talk Mode - The handset is not in the base and
TALK/FLASH has been pressed enabling a dial
tone. “
Talk” appears on the display.
Terminology
• If you are not sure of
your dialing system,
set the unit to tone
dialing. Make a trial
call. If the call
connects, leave the
setting as is,
otherwise set the
unit to pulse dialing.
• If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
DTMF tones in certain
situations during a
call, you may
“switch-over” to tone
dialing. (Refer to
“Tone Dialing Switch-
over” on page 24.)
