Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends
standard 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: Ô
1. Press and hold the REMOTE 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
/TONE .
You hear a confirmation tone to indicate the
setting is complete.

NOTES
Ô
• Make sure your battery
pack is fully charged
before choosing the
dialing mode.
• If you are not sure of
your dialing system,
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 standard tones for
certain situations during
a call, you may “switch-
over” to tone dialing
(refer to “Tone Dialing
Switch-over” on page
11).
