You can enter control codes (digits) during a call so that an answering machine can be controlled remotely. These digits are directly transmitted as DTMF tones (control codes). The sounds can also be heard when the microphone is switched off.

J(Enter phone number) ¢ 0(press until a "+" appears) ¢ J(enter DTMF signals) ¢ 0(enter further pauses if necessary) ¢ J(enter a name)
