Temporary tone dialing
If you have pulse (rotary) service only,
you can switch from pulse to touch-tone
dialing temporarily during a call. This is
useful if you need to send touch-tone
signals to access your telephone banking
or long distance services.
During a call:
1. Press TONE on the handset.
2. Use the dialing keys to enter the
relevant number. The telephone
sends touch-tone signals.
3. The telephone automatically returns
to pulse dialing after you end the call.

Though the caller ID log entries have
10 digits (the area code plus the seven-
digit number), in some areas, you may
dial only the seven digits, or a 1 plus the
seven digits, or a 1 plus the area code
plus the seven digits. You can change
the number of digits that you dial from
or store to the phonebook.
While reviewing the caller ID log, press
(pound key) repeatedly to display
different dialing options for local and
long distance numbers before dialing
or saving the telephone number in the
phonebook.
Press 1 repeatedly if you need to add
or remove 1 in front of the telephone
number before dialing or saving it in the
phonebook.
NOTE
• If you have programmed the home
area code, only the last seven digits
of the incoming phone numbers from
that area code will be displayed while
reviewing the caller ID log. Press
repeatedly to display all possible
dialing options.
