Set TONE/PULSE on the back of the

— tone or pulse (rotary). If you are not
sure which type you have, do this test.
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE .
2. Lift the handset, press TALK , and
listen for a dial tone.
3. 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
enter the access code.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch tone service. Leave
TONE/
PULSE set to TONE .
If the dial tone continues, you
have pulse (rotary) service. Set
TONE/PULSE to PULSE .

To turn off the handset’s ringer, set
RINGER OFF/ON on the handset to

line which rings when there is an in-
coming call.
