D. Choose the dialing mode
Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.
However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting
is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:

your dialing system, set
the unit to tone dialing.
Make a trial call. If the
call connects, leave the
setting as is, otherwise
set the unit to pulse
dialing.
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press menu/mute.
2) Press + or - to move the pointer to “Dial Mode”.
• If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
DTMF tones in certain
situations during a call,
you may “switch-over”
to tone dialing. (Refer
to “Tone Dialing Switch-
over” on page 21.)
3) Press select/ch and the display will show the current setting. (The
initial setting is Tone.)
4) Press + or - to change the selection.
5) Press select/ch, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
6) Press end to exit.

PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY [ 43 ]
Telephone Line Problems
Installation Considerations
Selecting a Location
One Year Limited Warranty
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect
service in the event that your phone causes problems on the
telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in
facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit.
However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in
writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary
arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
Important:
Evidence of original purchase is required
for warranty service.
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
WARRANTOR: INTER-TEL, INC.
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which
does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise
such as motors or fluorescent lighting.
• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a
standard telephone wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before
completing the installation or using the handset.
ELEMENTS OF WARRANTY: Inter-Tel warrants, for one year, to the
original retail owner, this Inter-Tel Product to be free from defects in
materials and craftsmanship with only the limitations or exclusions set
out below.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem.
If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected
until the trouble has been corrected.
WARRANTY DURATION: This warranty to the original user shall
terminate and be of no further effect 12 months after the date of
original retail sale. The warranty is invalid if the Product is
(A) damaged or not maintained as reasonable or necessary,
(B) modified, altered, or used as part of any conversion kits,
subassemblies, or any configurations not sold by Inter-Tel,
(C) improperly installed, (D) serviced or repaired by someone other
than an authorized Inter-Tel service center for a defect or malfunction
covered by this warranty, (E) used in any conjunction with equipment
or parts or as part of any system not manufactured by Inter-Tel, or
(F) installed or programmed by anyone other than as detailed by the
owner’s manual for this product.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in
your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference
is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner,
fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If
these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around
your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In
addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit
that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for
interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended
when needed.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords
are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type
of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks,
contact your local telephone company for information about
their installation.
STATEMENT OF REMEDY: In the event that the product does not
conform to this warranty at any time while this warranty is in effect,
warrantor will either, at its option, repair or replace the defective unit
and return it to you without charge for parts, service, or any other
cost (except shipping and handling) incurred by warrantor or its
representatives in connection with the performance of this warranty.
Warrantor, at its option, may replace the unit with a new or
refurbished unit. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE IS THE
SOLE AND ENTIRE WARRANTY PERTAINING TO THE PRODUCT AND IS IN
LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR ARISING BY OPERATION
OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OR PROVIDE FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OR
PAYMENT OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states
do not allow this exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Hardwired Jack
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or
distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio
signals from another cordless telephone or other source of
interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you
need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless
telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther
away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference.
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation
is not difficult; however, you should contact your Inter-Tel telephone
dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter
or converter for your particular situation.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the
telephone cords:
Caution!
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected.
More than One Cordless Telephone
LEGAL REMEDIES: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This
warranty is void outside the United States of America and Canada.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,
they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to
select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
Applying Power to the Base
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY: If, after
following the instructions in the owner’s manual you are certain that
the Product is defective, contact your local authorized Inter-Tel
reseller.
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power,
and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when
the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around
the strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.
Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by
means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways.
Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your
communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than
your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications
using your cordless telephone may not be private.
NOTE:
Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard,
or where it could become chafed and create a fire or other
electrical hazards.
