only applies when
the dial mode is set
to pulse.

Tone Dialing Switch-over
Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing (sometimes
referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can
switch-over to tone dialing during the call. For example, entering your
bank account number after you have called your bank.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call
connects, press

sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and
pulse dialing mode resumes.
