8. Touch Tones

Your phone is a “Touch Tone” phone, meaning that it creates certain sounds when you press the keys. These sounds can be used for many automated, over-the-phone services such as checking your bank balance, using your voice mailbox options, and even checking airplane arrival and departure times.

Touch Tones are called “DTMF” (Dual Tone Multifrequency) tones in the phone.

Sending Individual Touch Tones

Press keys during call.

Touch Tones can be used only when a call is active. You would use the Individual Touch Tone feature when, for example, you are prompted to “press 1 and then the star () button”. You would simply press 1 .

Note: Individual Touch Tones can be sent only if Menu 4 3 is not set to Off. Menu 4 3 is described on page 35.

Sending Strings of Touch Tones

During a call, with the display empty:

1)Recall from memory the string you want to send.

2)Press left ñ(Menu) then í.

You can store a whole digit sequence in a memory loca- tion and send it as Touch Tones. You could use this for frequently-used strings of numbers, such as the access codes for your voice mailbox.

The phone sends (as Touch Tones) the digits that are cur- rently on the display. You may also press and hold left ñ (Menu) then press W to Send DTMF then left ñ(OK) then left ñ(Quit) to send a string of Touch Tones.
