Choose whether the display text appears in English,
Spanish, or French.
Set the telephone to recognize calls from your area code
(7 digit local dialing).
Refer to Set home area code on page 17 for details.
Program up to four local area codes that do not require
dialing a 1 before them (10 digit local dialing).
Refer to Set local area code on page 18 for details.
Set tone (touch-tone) or pulse (dial-pulse) dialing.
If you have dial-pulse dialing service only, you
can temporarily switch from dial-pulse to touch-
tone dialing during a call (see Temporary tone
dialing on page 21).
Set how many times the telephone rings before the
answering system picks up the call.
If you choose tS 2-4 (or tS 4-6), the answering system
answers after two (four, if you select tS 4-6) rings if there
are new messages. When there are no new messages,
the answering system answers after four (six, if you
select tS 4-6) rings. When retrieving messages from a
long distance call, disconnect your call after three (five,
if you select tS 4-6) rings to avoid long distance charges
(also known as toll saver).
Turn the audible message alert on or off.
The telephone beeps every 15 seconds when there are
new messages.
No audible message alert.
