TONE . When you hear the dial tone,
press any number other than 0 .
Note: If your phone system requires that
you dial an access code (9, for example)
before you dial an outside number, do
not press the access code either.
# does not function when PULSE/TONE
is set to PULSE .

tone service. Leave PULSE/TONE set to
TONE .

pulse service. Set
