Using your Freestyle 90
15
Changing the telephone
settings
To set the base unit ringer volume
(Located on the underside of the
base unit)
You can set the base unit ringer
volume to
HI, LO or OFF. If the base
unit ringer is switched
OFF, the
handset will still ring providing the
handset ringer is not switched to
OFF.
To set the tel mode switch
(Located on the underside of the
base unit)
The tel mode switch selects tone or
pulse dialling and earth or time
break recall:
• T-TB – Your Freestyle 90 is preset
to this position. Most modern
exchanges use tone dialling and
time break recall for faster
dialling, and for services such as
BT Select Services and telephone
banking.
• T-E – This setting is for use if you
are connected to a tone dialling
PBX (private branch exchange)
that uses earth recall.
• P-E – If you dial a number when
your Freestyle 90 is set to
T-TB
or T-E and you continue to hear
the dialling tone, you may be
connected to an older pulse
dialling exchange. Set the switch
to
P-E (pulse dialling).
To switch from Pulse to Tone
dialling during a call
If you are connected to a pulse
dialling exchange, you can still use
services such as phone banking
that require tone dialling.
• Call the telephone number you
require in pulse mode as usual.
• When you have been connected,
press the ✱ button on the keypad
to set your telephone to tone
dialling for the duration of the call.
• When you hang up, your
Freestyle 90 will automatically
switch back to pulse dialling.
