Sending DTMF ("Touch") Tones

Your phone is a "Touch Tone" phone.  Touch Tones are the sounds your phone
makes when you press the keys.  Touch Tones can be used for many automated
phone services such as checking your bank balance and using voice mailbox
options.

Touch Tones are called "DTMF" (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) tones in the
phone.

Manually Sending Touch tones

Pressing the keys during call sends Touch Tones.

1.  Make a call in the usual way (e.g., your bank's computer phone
    number).

2.  Manually enter the digits to be sent as DTMF tones (e.g., your bank
    account number and password).

Automatically Sending Touch Tones

To automatically send Touch Tones, store the DTMF sequence after the
access phone number (separated by a "wait" character).  Store "waits" or
"pauses" between DTMF digits to be sent (a "pause" cannot be stored as the
first special character).

For details on storing "Pause" and "Wait" characters, see "Storing Pause"
and "Wait Characters" in Faxback Doc. # 48240.

Here is an example of a number you could store in your phone.  This number
contains a phone number (18005551212), a wait character, an access number
("1234"), a wait character, and a password ("3434").

18005551212 w 1234 w 3434

When you recall this number from memory and press [SEND], the phone:

1.  Dials 18005551212 (the stored number), then

2.  "Waits" for you to press [SEND] again.  When you do, the phone sends
    the numbers 1234.

3.  "Waits" for you to press [SEND] again then sends the numbers 3434.

Here is an example that uses both "waits" and "pauses":

18005551212 w 1234 p 3434

When you recall this number from memory and press [SEND], the phone:

1.  Dials 18005551212 (the stored number), then

2.  "Waits" for you to press [SEND] again.  When you do, the phone sends
    the numbers 1234.

3.  Pauses 2.5 seconds then sends the numbers 3434.

If the Menu 8, Keypad Tones, has been set to off, the DTMF tones will
still be sent, but you will not hear them.

To end the call, press [END] after the DTMF transmission is completed and
the phone has returned to the normal call mode.

Call Waiting

Your cellular service provider may offer a call waiting option.  This
network feature allows you to make or answer a second call while you
already have a call in progress.

To answer a waiting call

Press [SEND] when you hear an incoming call (normally indicated by a
beep).

To make a call while you have a call in progress:

Enter the phone number or recall the number from the memory and press
[SEND].  This puts the current call on hold and dials the new call.

Note:  The Call Waiting network feature needs to be specifically
       subscribed to and may not be available in all cellular service
       provider networks.  Contact your local service provider for more
       information.
