are not sure which type you have, do
this test.

2. Press SPEAKER then press LINE 1
and listen for the dial tone.

Note: If your phone system re-
quires 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, that line has
tone service.
If the dial tone continues, that line
has pulse service.
4. Press LINE 2 , listen for the dial
tone, and repeat Step 3.
If you have tone service on both lines,
leave

TURNING THE RINGER
ON/OFF
You can turn the ringer on the base on
or off. Set
RINGER on the back of the
base to the position you want.
The switch setting affects the ringer on
the base only. The handset’s ringer is
always turned on as long as the hand-
set is off the base. When you place the
handset
on the base and set RINGER
to OFF , the ET-598 does not ring when
it receives a call. However, other
phones connected to the same phone
line still ring.
