Model IA5862
Well, cannot find ia5862...but from ia5863 which must be similar; Manual at http://www.scribd.com/doc/64707312/Vtech-Phone-Ia5863-Manual-r2, it says... Set the dial mode
If you have touch tone service, the phone is ready to use as soon as the battery is charged. If you have pulse (rotary) service, you'll need to change the dial modee• Press
PROG.
• Press o runtil the screen displays
DIAL MODE:
and the current settings• Press
SELECT.
The current setting blinks • Press or to select
TONE
or
PULSE.
• Press
SELECT
to save
Hope it helps, sounds like the phone should ALREADY be on tone dial out of the box.
SOURCE: Switching from pulse to tone dialing (there is no switch on the base unit)
hold the select button down a few seconds until you'll see a 'tn' on the readout. this sets it to tone. hold it down again and it will set back to 'Pu' for pulse. i figured this out by accident. the losers at vtech never answered my question.
SOURCE: can not break through dial tone on either hand set
After going around and around and around with YOU people, I finally gave up and took the damned phone back to the store where I bought it. The first store wouldn't take it back, because I had the receipt (which was from early September, 2008 - which was past the 90 days), so I took it to their other location and told them that I lost the receipt. I got a brand new replacement. If the new one should fail to work, I'll take it back again WITHOUT the receipt, and upgrade to another brand. Thanks anyway.
