digit number. Ô

Global Setup menu, and then the Area
Code submenu.

a 3-digit area code.
3. Press the OK soft key. You will hear a
confirmation tone.
Setting the Dial Mode

local phone service.

system, set the unit to tone dialing.

leave the setting as is; otherwise set
the unit to pulse dialing.

dialing and you need to send DTMF

(refer to “Tone Dialing Switch Over” on
page 36).
