SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set T/P (Tone/Pulse) for the type of service
you have. If you are not sure which type you
have, do this simple test.
1. Be sure T/P is set to T .
2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number except 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.
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 T/P to P .
Otherwise, leave it set to T .
