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

the number of digits that you dial from
or store to the phonebook.

from that area code will be displayed
while reviewing the caller ID log.
