Dialling Mode (Tone/Pulse) Setting
The Tone/Pulse switch is factory pre-set to Tone position (T). In the UK,
all telephone exchanges now use Tone dialing. If your telephone does not
dial out, it is probably being used from an older private switch- board
(PBX). In this case, the Tone/Pulse switch (at rear of the unit) must be
moved to Pulse.

Pick up the handset.
When you hear the dialling tone, dial the number on the keypad.
To end the call simply replace the handset in the cradle
Making a Call – Hands Free

To activate the Hands Free function during the call, press and
replace the handset on the cradle at the same time.
Also, when in hands free mode, only one person may talk at a time. The
switch-over between speaker and microphone is automatic. This is
dependent on the sound level of the incoming call and the microphone
respectively. It is therefore essential that there are no loud noises, e.g.
music, in the immediate vicinity of the telephone, as this will disrupt the
hands free function.
