Setting the Dial Mode (Australia Only)

Dial Mode sets the dial mode to tone or pulse. Most phone systems use tone dialing; thedefault setting is tone dialing. Set the dialing mode to match the dialing system used by yourlocal phone service.

If you are not sure of your dialing system, make a trial call. If the call connects,leave the setting as is; otherwise set the unit to pulse dialing.
