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.

2. Use the dialing keys to enter the desired number. The telephone sends
touch-tone signals.
3. The telephone automatically returns to pulse dialing after you end the call.

handset.
To transfer an outside call directly without notifying the desired handset:

2. Press MENU/SELECT to choose >Transfer.
If you have a two-handset system, the outside call is put
on hold and your handset screen shows Transferring
call... The other handset rings and its screen shows
Transfer from other handset.
If you have more than two handsets, your screen shows
TRANSFER TO: Use the dialing keys to eenter a specific
handset number (1-9 for handsets 1-9, TONE and 0-2
for handsets 10-12, or TONE and # for all handsets), or
press qCID or pDIR to scroll to the desired handset
and press MENU/SELECT. The outside call is put on hold
and your handset screen shows Transferring call... or
Transferring call to all... The other handset(s) rings and
shows Transfer from HANDSET X (X represents the
handset number).
3. To answer the call on the destination handset, press, press PHONE/FLASH,
/SPEA�ERSPEA�ER, or any dialing key (0-9, TONE , or #). The original handset
shows Call transferred and goes to idle mode.
NOTES:
To cancel the transfer and return to the external call before the blind transfer call is answered,
press OFF/CANCEL on your handset.
If the other handset does not answer the transfer within 30 seconds, the transfer ends and the
original handset rings while showing No response to transfer. If the original handset does not
pick up within 30 seconds, the handset returns to idle mode and the outside call ends.
