3) Set up
Your phone has four basic options that you need to set up fi rst. You should only have to set
these options once, and you may not have to change any of them:
Dial mode (tone or pulse dialing)
CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting)
Language
Auto talk
You might change two handset-specifi c options --ringer type and ringer volume -- more
often, depending on the situation. There's another option, area code, that you should only
set if you can use seven-digit dialing (see "Using Seven Digits Instead of Ten" on page 9).

3-1. System Options (from HS1 only)
These options can only be changed from handset 1 (HS1). After changing these settings,
you must put HS1 back in the base cradle to activate them.

Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)

Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing
or pulse dialing. These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so
your phone comes programmed for tone dialing.
If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone's dial settings. If
you don't get a dial tone or can't connect to the telephone network, follow the steps below
to modify your phone's settings:
1.
Make sure you have Handset 1 (HS1).
2.
With the phone in standby, press and hold CID/MENU.
3.
Press to move the pointer to DIAL.
4.
Press SELECT/CHANNEL to set the phone to pulse dialing.
5.
Press END and put the handset back in the base. Handset 1 communicates
the new setting to the base, and the base activates the setting on any other
handsets.
Note: If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones
during a call (if you're using an automated response system,
for example), press /TONE/
dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to
pulse dialing mode.
