Temporary tone dialing
If you have pulse (rotary) service only, you can switch from pulse to touch-tone
dialing temporarily during a call. This is useful if you need to send touch-tone
signals to access your telephone banking or long distance services.
1. During a call, press

on the handset or telephone base.
2. Use the dialing keys to enter the desired number. The telephone sends
touch-tone signals.
3. The telephone automatically returns to pulse dialing after you end the call.
