Telephone operation

Options while on calls

Temporary tone dialing

If you have dial-pulse (rotary) dialing service only, you can temporarily switch from dial-pulse to touch-tone dialing during a call.

1. During a call, press TONE. Buttons pressed after this

send touch-tone signals. 2. Use the dial pad keys to enter the number.

3. The telephone automatically returns to pulse dial mode after you end the call.

Chain dialing

While on a call, you can initiate a dialing sequence from numbers stored in the directory, caller ID history or redial list. Doing this can be useful if you need to access numbers other than telephone numbers (such as bank account numbers or access codes).

To access the directory while on a call:

1.Press MENU/SELECT.

2.Press DIR or CID to scroll to >DIRECTORY, then press MENU/SELECT.
