My cordless 2.4GHz phone has gone to rotary dial howw do i get it back to touch tone

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

• Press o runtil the screen displays
DIAL MODE:
and the current settings• Press

The current setting blinks • Press or to select

or

Hope it helps, sounds like the phone should ALREADY be on tone dial out of the box.

Enter the model of your VTech DECT 6.0 phone into the search box at http://www.vtechphones.com/support/general/manuals to download a copy of the manual.

Since you declined to specify the model of your VTech 5.8GHz phone, I can only suggest that you enter it into the search box here to download a copy of the manual. The manual will describe how to switch between pulse and tone dialing.

Hi,

The phone is pre-set for touch-tone use. To set to tone or pulse dialing:
1. Press and hold the Program button until you hear a beep.
2. Press the *tone button to select Tone Dialing or press #pause to select Pulse Dialing.
3. Press the Program button again. You will hear a confirmation tone.

There are two possible answers to this problem. The first thing is to check on the cordless phones, is a 2 way switch, one setting is for DP=Dial pulse (setting for old rotary phones) 2nd setting is TT= Touch Tone. I would guess that the setting should be set to TT on both cordless phones for touchtone.
Second thing to do is to plug in the base unit of your cordless phone to a jack that currently has a landline phone plugged into it that works and test again. If cordless phone works OK then go back to the original jack that didn't work and reverse the wires in the jack: that is what is known as a "polarity" issue.

From the Handset Setup Menu:
1. Press the caller ID-volume ( 5 or 6) button to scroll to the TONE PULSE sub-menu.
2. Press mute/program button to enter the menu. TONE/PULSE 41TONE 2PULSE shows in the display. The default setting is “1 TONE”.
3. Use the touch-tone pad or caller ID-volume ( 5 or 6) to enter 1 TONE or 2 PULSE.
4. Press the mute/program button to confirm. You will hear a confirmation tone and your selection shows in the display.

press menu then globel setup and then press dial mode then change the the dial tone you want

Lisa, If the 900MHZ phone is Model 26928M programming for rotary dial usually goes like below, can't hurt to try on any model. TONE/PULSE DIALING This adjustment allows you to select tone (touch-tone) or pulse (rotary) mode dialing. The phone is pre-set for touch-tone use. To set to tone or pulse dialing: 1. Press and hold the program button for two seconds. You will hear a beep. 2. Press the *tone button to select Tone Dialing or press #pause to select Pulse Dialing. 3. Press the program button again. You will hear a confirmation tone.
