the handset to the base or press
TALK . The phone automatically re-
sets to the pulse mode.
Note: When you dial a number without

test the stored number, make the test
call during the late evening or early
morning hours to avoid peak demand
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-
plain the reason for your call.
