Audible Tones

  Your telephone will produce the following audible tones:

    - a keypress confirmation tone (short tone), denoting a valid keypress.

    - a keypress error tone (longer tone) denoting an invalid keypress.

    - alert/warning tones.

  When a handset cradle is used (i.e., as for a Mobile telephone, or Soft
  Pack Transportable with hands-free option):

    - all tones are produced via the loudspeaker in the cradle.

    - the keypress confirmation tone is a DTMF tone for the numeric ([0 OPR]
      to [9 WXY]), [*] and [#] keys, and a single tone for the other keys.

  For a Soft Pack Transportable without the hands-free option (i.e., no
  handset cradle):

    - the tones are produced via the handset ringer.

    - the keypress confirmation tone is a standard short tone for any key.

  described later in this user guide, you must first enter a 4-digit Person-
  al Identification Number (PIN code).

  When you are required to enter this number, it is indicated in this user
