Tonal Signals

On this model the￿E￿key on the ten keypad is used as the Tone Key. Some organizations offer you a special service by telephone, which you can access by transmitting Touch Tone or DTMF tones.

First, dial the other party. When you are through to the other end, press the Tone key and enter the code number that is needed to access the required feature on the other terminal.You do not need to press the Tone key if your machine is set up for dialing in Tone Dial (DTMF) mode.
