Special storage functions
Hyphens, pauses and links are special functions that can be stored in
your Phone Book entries.
Hyphens in Phone Book entries
Your phone has a default setting of autohyphenation ON. When you
enter digits, the phone assumes you are entering a standard U.S. phone
number (such as 800-555-1234). Every fourth and eight character is a
hyphen. To enter hyphens manually (to store a foreign phone number or
other type of number), turn autohyphenation OFF (see page 68).
Using pauses and links to Send DTMF signals
Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) is also known as “touch-tone”.
Each key on your phone’s keypad generates a distinct tone (number
tone). You use DTMF signals when you call electronic services such as
answering machines, pagers, telephone banking services, etc. (e.g., a
number that asks if you are calling from a touch-tone phone then
prompts you to enter information using the keypad). DTMF signals can
be used to route the call or identify the person calling. Instead of
sending the number tones manually one-by-one using the keypad, you
can store them in your Phone Book and send them at the touch of a key.
Notes
• You can send DTMF signals only during a call.
• To change the length of the DTMF transmission, see “Setting the
keybeep length” on page 44.
When you dial a Phone Book entry that has a hard pause or link in it, the
phone displays and dials only the numbers up to the hard pause or link.
When prompted, press
Jog Dial
to release the hard pause or link and
transmit the next set of digits. A time pause waits for a specified period
of time before sending the second string automatically.
Pauses in Phone Book entries
The pause function allows you to save a phone number and
corresponding DTMF signals together in the same Phone Book entry.
