PREPARATION
SETTING THE RINGER
SWITCH
The ringer switch controls the volume
of the phone’s ring. Set the switch to
HIGH in a noisy room (such as a kitch-
en) or to LOW in a quiet room (such as
a bedroom).
If you do not want the ringer to sound,
set
RINGER to OFF . You can still make
calls, and you can answer calls if you
hear another phone on the same
phone line ring.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set TONE/PULSE for the type of
service you have, either tone or pulse
(rotary). If you are not sure which type
you have, do this simple test.
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE .
2. Lift the handset and listen for a
dial tone.
3. Press any number except 0. If the
dial tone stops, you have touch-
tone service. If the dial tone
continues, you have pulse
service.
4. If you have pulse service, set
TONE/PULSE to PULSE .
