What if the call doesn’t go through?

Try changing the dialing mode (see the next section).

Note: Make sure you can get a dial tone on any accessory handsets that were packaged with your phone.

•

Installing the Phone

Changing the dial mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These

days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If

your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone

or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

Press

[menu/select].

Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE

submenu.

Scroll

[ ] to highlight PULSE.

Press

[menu/select]. You will hear a conrmation tone.

If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE YOUR PHONE!

Installing the Belt Clip

Insert the tabs on the sides of the belt clip into the holes on either side of the handset.

Press the belt clip down until it clicks into place. (Tug on the clip to make sure it’s secure.)

To remove the belt clip, gently pull the tabs out of the holes, then slide the belt clip off of

the handset.

Installing the Phone

Expanding Your Phone

Adding accessory handsets

Your phone supports a total of ten cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can

now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.

Your phone is compatible with the TCX950 accessory handset.

For instructions on connecting the charging cradle, see page 7.

If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can

use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)

Registering accessory handsets

When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display:

↔

To register a TCX950 accessory handset:

Charge the handset for 15-20 hours.

Place the handset in the base cradle for about thirty seconds. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear in the LCD.

When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display REGISTRATION COMPLETE then show the

handset ID number.

If REGISTRATION FAILED appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.

Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a

new base. See Resetting the Handset on

page 50.
