Dial Mode - Radio Shack 43-3905 User Manual

Dial Mode

Slide TONE/PULSE to the setting for the type of dialing service
you have. If you are not sure which type you have, do this
simple test.
1. Slide TONE/PULSE to TONE. Lift the handset and listen for
a dial tone.
2. Press any number except 0. (If your setup requires that you
dial an access code, usually 9, before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access code number.)
• If the dial tone stops, you have touchtone service. Keep
the switch on TONE.
• If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set
the switch to PULSE.
Using Special Tone Services
Some computer services require tone signals for communications.
If you have pulse service, you can still simulate tone signals by
following these steps.
1. Connect to the special service using pulse dialing.
2. When the special service answers, press
switch to tone dialing.
3. When you complete the call, hang up to change the setting
back to PULSE.
Master/Secondary Setting
For modern phones systems, slide M/S to M.

Notes:
• If you have other phones with a Master/Secondary switch, set them
to S. Set one system to answer and set the others to off.
• If M is not set on at least one phone, incoming calls might be
disconnected.
