Connect the Telephone Cord Use the telephone cord to connect the TEL LINE jack on the base to a standard telephone wall jack. Test the Connection 1. Pick up the handset from the cradle and press Talk. You should hear a dial tone, and the display should say Talk.  If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Check Tel Line, try checking the connection between the base and the phone jack. 2. Make a quick test call. (Press End to hang up.)  If you keep hearing a dial tone, try changing to pulse dialing mode.  If there is a lot of noise, see page 21 for tips on avoiding interference. . Test all your handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial tone, try moving the handset closer to the base. Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing Your phone communicates with the telephone network in two ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. Most telephone companies use tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone's dial mode. 1. From a handset, open the menu and select Global Setup. (See page 8 for details on using the menu.) 2. Select Dial Mode, then select Pulse. The phone sounds a confirmation tone. 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 to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
