Sending DTMF (“Touch”) Tones

Your phone is a “Touch Tone” phone. Touch Tones are the sounds your phone makes when you press the keys. Touch Tones can be used for many automated phone services such as checking your bank balance and using voice mailbox options.

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

Manually Sending Touch Tones

Pressing the keys during call sends Touch Tones.

1)Make a call in the usual way (e.g. to your bank's computer phone number).

2)Manually enter the digits to be sent as DTMF tones (e.g., your bank account number and password).

Automatically Sending Touch Tones

To automatically send Touch Tones, store the DTMF sequence after the access phone number (separated by a “wait” character). Store “waits” or “pauses” between DTMF digits to be sent (a “pause” cannot be stored as the first special character).

For details on storing “pause” and “wait” characters, see “Storing Pause and Wait Characters” on page 18.

Here is an example of a number you could store in your phone. This number contains a phone number (18005551212), a wait character, an access number (“1234”), a wait character, and a password (“3434”).
