Setting the signalling mode
New exchanges being installed by British
Telecom
will
enable you to set up calls using
the new Touch Tone s1gnall1ng. This means
that you
will
hear a series of tones when
d1all1ng
a number rather than the usual clicks.
This means that your calls
will
be set up
quicker. In order to get the best out of British
Telecom's modern network, you need to set
the dialling switch correctly by following these
directions prior to using your telephone:
The diagram on Page
4
shows the location of
the dialling switch.
To set the Signalling Mode
Step
1
Move the LD/MFT/MFE switch
on your
handset to
MFT
(the middle setting)
using a small screw driver or similar
obiect.
Step
2
Try
to make a call 1n the normal way.
Step
3
If
you can make
a
call you are
connected to a modern Touch Tone
signalling exchange and should leave
your switch at this setting.
Step
4
If
dial tone continues and you cannot
make a call move the switch back to the
LD
pos1t1on on the left of the switch and
replace the handset. This completes the
setting of the signalling mode
for
your
line
until your exchange 1s modernised.

you have a modern switchboard you will need
to move the
LD/MFT/MFE switch to suit the
