Storing Special Numbers in the Phone Book
Using the Pause Feature
Generally, when you call an automated system like voicemail boxes or credit card companies, you are required to enter a password or calling card number. Rather than entering the numbers manually each time, you can store the numbers in your Internal Phone Book, separated by special characters called “pauses”.
Using Two Different Types of Pauses
There are two different types of pauses that you can use when storing a number in your Internal Phone Book.
Hard Pause causes the phone to stop dialing until you select

Hyphen for a hyphen (see following section).
4.Press to insert a pause or manual hyphen.

Using Hyphens
You can add hyphens to your Internal Phone Book numbers, however they are mainly for show. You can insert hyphens manually where you like, or choose automatic hyphenation, which inserts hyphens according to the North American Numbering Plan. Entering a manual hyphen suspends any automatic hyphenation for that number.
