It sounds like rotary dialing

You need to change the dialing mode to tone rather than pulse.

If you would like to know how to do this refer to page 26 of the instruction manual
50. DIALING MODE SETTING (TONE OR PULSE)
page 15 on the pdf file below

Depends on what your telephone exchange accepts as a dialing signal. Strange thing is phone is factory set to tone but it seems to sound like your phone is on pulse.

To switch between tone and pulse dialing, follow the instructions on page 14 of the manual: http://www.home-electronics.net/USER-GUIDES/27958_DOM_ES_CL_IB.pdf

I think you have to 'close' the ticket by accepting my answer to you.

To change the dialing from pulse to dtmf dialing on a prostar 816 you first need to be at a display set (doesn't matter what the extension number is).
with the handset down, enter #20 the screen should say MMC DISABLED
1) enter in 1 2 3 4 1 # (that enables programming)
2) enter in #42 the screen should momentarily say trunk dial typethen display the current programmed data (00000000)
3) enter in 0 for pulse dialing and 1 for dtmf dialing for each of the lines. i.e. touch tone dialing for lines 1-4 would be 11110000. all 8 digits must be entered for the program to accept the data
press # when finished.

If your system is defaulting to pulse dialing , it sounds like an earlier 8x24 or 6x16. The memory battery is contained in the software cartridge and is fairly easy to change by first powering down the system, pulling out the cartridge and replacing it with the new one. You will have to reprogram the system one more time after start up ,but the should hold after that

Activating Call Forwarding

You can activate Call Forwarding whenever you want your calls to be sent to another phone, including a mobile phone. Once activated, all your calls will be sent to the forwarding number you request. Each time a call is forwarded, you will hear one short reminder tone on your home phone, but you will not be able to answer the call from your home number.

1. Lift your telephone's receiver and listen for a dial tone.


2. Press *7 2.
In some areas you must use 72#
Dial 1172 on rotary or pulse-dialing phones.


3. At the tone, dial the telephone number where you want your calls transferred.
You will hear the number you entered ring. When the number is answered, Call Forwarding is activated.


4. If the call is not answered or the line is busy, hang up and call the number again within two minutes.
You will hear two short tones telling you that Call Forwarding is activated.


5. Hang up the receiver.

Deactivating Call Forwarding

Turn Call Forwarding off when you want to receive calls on your home phone.

1. Lift your telephone's receiver and listen for a dial tone.


2. Press * 73.
In some areas you must use 73#
Dial 1173 on rotary or pulse-dialing phones.


3. Listen for two short tones.
Call Forwarding is now off and you will receive your calls at your home number.

Since you neglected to specify the model of your VTech 5.8GHz phone I can only suggest you enter it into the search box here to download a copy of the manual to see how to switch from pulse to tone dialing.

I don't know whay I did sorry, but it now works. I was going thru different functions and when I tried again it workd. I jist noticed when it dials out it makes the old fashioned rotary dialing sound after ea number selected. I'm just glad it works.

Also it is not compatible with the home phone features of my service provider like *98 to access msgs.

Thanks, I look forward to using the Christmas ringtone!\
