Pause Dialing
When you call automated system, like banking
services, you are often required to enter a password
or account number. Instead of manually entering the
numbers each time, you can store the numbers in
your Phonebook, separated by special characters
called pauses.
There are two kinds of pauses that can be entered on
your phone:
• Hard pause: A hard pause stops the dialing
sequence until you press
.
• Two second pause: A two second pause stops the
dialing sequence for two seconds and then
automatically sends the remaining digits.
Note:
Multiple two second pauses can be
entered to extend the length of a pause. For
example, two consecutive two second pauses
cause a total pause time of four seconds.
However, keep in mind that pauses count as
digits towards the 32 digit dialing maximum.
Storing Pauses in a Phonebook Entry
To store a number in your Phonebook that contains
pauses:
1. Enter the phone number you want to store (such as
the bank’s teleservice phone number).
2. Press
. The Dial options display.
3. Press
or
to enter the desired pause.
• Press
for
P pause
. The letter “P” displays
in the number, meaning that a hard pause will
occur at that point in the dialing sequence.
• Press
for
T pause
. The letter “T”
displays in the number, meaning that a “Timed”
pause will occur at that point in the dialing
sequence.
4. Enter the digits that need to follow the pause
(such as your account number).
5. Store the number in your Phonebook as you
normally would by pressing and following the
screen prompts.
Pause Dialing from a Stored Phonebook Entry
1. Dial the number from the Phonebook.
2. If you stored the number using a two second
pause(s), your phone transmits the number that
follows the “T” pause two seconds after
connection.
If you stored the number using a hard pause(s),
wait for the appropriate prompt from the number
you are calling (credit card number, back account
number, etc.). When prompted, press
to send
the DTMF number that follows your hard pause.
3. “SENDING DTMF” flashes on the display and the
transmitted tone sounds.
