Sending DTMF Tones
The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) feature allows you to send touch tones
which can be used to control equipment such as bank-by-phone or voice-mail
by using your cellular phone.
There are two alternative ways to send DTMF tones:
1. Manual dialing
A. Make a call to the desired number in the usual way (e.g. to your
bank's computer phone number).
B. Enter the digits to be sent as DTMF tones (e.g., your bank account
number and password).
2. Automatic dialing
You can send a string of digits as DTMF tones by storing the string in a
phone directory location and then recalling it for automatic DTMF trans-
mission.
When storing the string, insert a wait character between the access phone
number and DTMF number. (See Adding a Wait Character below.)
A. Recall the phone directory location containing the phone number and
DTMF string to be sent.
B. Press SEND to dial the phone number.
C. After the phone number has disappeared from the display, wait for the
tone and press SEND.
If the keypad tones have been set off, the DTMF tones will be sent,
but you will not hear them.
D. To end the call, press END after the DTMF transmission is completed
and the phone has returned to the normal call mode.
NOTE: If you recall a DTMF number from the memory during a call, do not
recall the number by first entering the location number and then
pressing RCL or /\ / \/, because then the location number will be
sent as DTMF tones.
Adding a Pause Character
If the device to which you are sending the DTMF string, needs to receive
the number slowly or after a pause, insert one or more pause characters of
2.5 seconds between the required DTMF digits.
To create a pause character 'p':
1. Press MENU first and then #. (E.g., if you want to send your password
as DTMF tones with a 'p' character between each digit, the string
should be sent as 1p2p3p4.)
Adding a Wait Character
For automatic dialing, you can store the DTMF string within the same memory
location as the access phone number by storing a wait character between the
phone number and the DTMF number.
To create a wait character 'w':
1. Press MENU first and then # twice.
To send a DTMF sequence containing a wait character, see Automatic Dialing
above.
Call Waiting
Your cellular service provider may offer a call waiting option. This net-
work feature allows you to make or answer a second call while you already
have a call in progress.
To make a call while you have a call in progress:
1. Enter the phone number or recall the number from the memory and press
SEND.
To answer an incoming call while you have a call in progress:
1. Press SEND at an incoming call alert.
Note: The Call Waiting network feature normally needs to be specifically
subscribed to and may not be available in all cellular service
provider networks. Contact your local cellular service provider
for more information.
Activating PIN Calls
Note: This feature may not be available on all networks, check with your
local service providers.
This function allows you to activate or deactivate a PIN call. When this
function is set to on, a PIN code is requested at call setup.
To activate the PIN call:
1. Enter the control code * # 7 pqrs 4 ghi 6 mno 2 abc 5 jkl 5jkl #
(spells * # PIN CALL #).
The phone asks for your four-digit PIN CODE?.
2. Enter your PIN code and press STO.
The message PIN CALL ON is briefly displayed confirming the PIN call
activation.
To deactivate the PIN call:
1. Enter the control code * # 7 pqrs 4 ghi 6 mno 2 abc 5 jkl 5 jkl #
(spells * # PIN CALL #).
The phone asks for your four-digit PIN CODE?.
2. Press STO without entering the PIN code.
The message PIN CALL OFF is briefly displayed confirming the PIN call
deactivation.
To make a call when the PIN call is set to on:
1. Make the call in the usual way.
The message PIN CALL is displayed. The phone asks you to wait for a
tone (WAIT FOR A PROMPT).
2. After the tone, press SEND.
The message SENDING PIN is displayed. If the message remains on the
display, press SEND to resend the PIN code.
Note: When the phone is set to PIN CALL ON, an emergency call to the
emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g., 911 or another
official emergency number) will be dialed as a normal call without
the PIN code request.
