Understanding Your Contacts 70
Add Pauses to Contacts Numbers
Calls to automated systems such as banking services often require a
password or account number. Instead of manually entering these
numbers, you can store them in a Contacts entry with the phone
number and with special characters called pauses, up to a maximum
of 32 digits.
•
2-Sec Pause
: Stops the calling sequence for two seconds, then sends the
remaining digits.
•
Wait
: Stops the calling sequence until the phone receives further input.
Note:
You can enter multiple Waits to extend the length of a pause. For example,
two consecutive Waits cause a total pause time of four seconds. Keep in
mind that pauses count as digits towards the 32-digit maximum.
To add pauses to a Contacts entry number, do the following:
1.
Find the Contacts entry associated with the number you want
to include one or more pauses. See
“Finding a Contacts Entry”
on page 65 for more information.
2.
Select and edit the desired number. See
“Editing a Contacts
Entry”
on page 69 for more information.
