Adding pauses
When you call automated systems (like banking services), you are often
required to enter a password or account number. Instead of manually entering
the numbers each time, you can store the numbers in your Phone Book
separated by special characters called pauses.
•P pause: A hard pause stops the calling sequence.
•T pause: A 2 second pause stops the calling sequence for 2
seconds and then automatically sends the remaining digits.
•Hyphen: Places a hyphen between characters.
Note: Multiple 2 second pauses can be entered to extend the length of a
pause. For example, 2 consecutive 2 second pauses cause a total pause time
of 4 seconds. However, keep in mind that pauses count as digits towards the
32 digit calling maximum.
