Change pulse tone rotary

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.

I assumed your old-fashioned phone works in Pulse (Rotary) mode only. Maybe the Tel Company or the Private Tel Exchange in your house supports only DTMF (Dual-tone Multi frequency) or MF (Multi Freq.) 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

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

Hi - There should be a switch on the phone somewhere that says pulse or tone. Set the phone to tone and things will be back to normal like you expect.

two places<br /> 1. Manual switch on back of phone Tone or Pulse<br /> 2. Menu-Set Dial Mode - DTMF (tone) or Pulse

there should be a switch somewhere on side marked pulse/tone, move it to tone

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”.

Lisa, If the 900MHZ phone is Model 26928M programming for rotary dial usually goes like below, can't hurt to try on any model.
