NOTE : Before dialing, make sure the Tone/Puse switch is correctly positioned for
your type of service.
Pick up the phone and wait for a dial tone, then press the keys for the number you
want. Your Metropolis

simulate dialing action. Because of this you may hear pulsing for a second for
two after the last button has been pressed.
Ringer On/Off

mechanical bell ringer. When you don’t want to be disturbed, slide the ringer :
ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position. Now you can still make outgoing calls,
without being disturbed by incoming calls.
Receiver Volume Control
The receiver volume control is located on the bottom of your base (see diagram A).
