Dial Mode sets the dial mode to tone or pulse. Most phone systems use tone dialing; the default setting is tone dialing. Set the dialing mode to match the dialing system used by your local phone service.
• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set the unit to tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is; otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.
• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones in certain situations during a call, you may switch over to tone dialing. Refer to Tone Dialing Switchover in your manual.
Depending on which model of telephone you have there are 3 different ways to switch the dial mode.
On most models:
-
Press and hold the CID/menu until your menu shows.
-
Go down to where it says Dial:
-
Press select to change between tone and pulse.
-
Press End to complete the setting.
On models with NO CALLER ID screen:
-
Press and hold flash until you hear a long beep tone.
-
Press * one time for tone or press # one time for pulse.
-
Sit the handset on the base to complete the setting.
For other models such as TRU, DCT, and DECT models

submenu.
2) Press volume up/down to select Tone or Pulse (the
initial setting is Tone).
