Phonecell Operation – Continued
Variable Dial Time (Auto SEND Delay) Option
When you place a call, your Phonecell SX3 automatically sends the phone num- ber over the cellular network after you dial the last digit – just like a landline phone. However, to make sure you have enough time to dial the last digit, a 3- second Auto SEND Delay is programmed into the unit. This delay also affects Special Functions such as Call Forwarding (see Special Cellular Services below).
You can set the Auto SEND Delay from 2 to 20 seconds using an ordinary tone- dial (DTMF) phone, which is sometimes referred to as a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) phone. Note: you cannot change the delay while you are mak- ing a call.

The < > brackets represent the Auto SEND Delay. You must enter a value between 2 and 20 seconds. (For instance, to enter a
