In this section we tell you how to vary the loudness or length of the DTMF tones generated by your dialer. If you don't care about these things, please go to Using Your Dialer on page 13.
Dialer Tone Settings
The dialer dials by generating DTMF tones. You can adjust the DTMF tone volume and tone length to please you.
Note that if you select short and/or soft tones, these may not be consistently and reliably detected. If you have this problem, often you can make just the first tone of each number longer or louder to make detection reliable. The first tone is the first digit of the hotline number, or if you used advanced hotline number programming, it is the first digit of each of the numbers you entered. By default, the first tone is longer than other tones, but at the same volume. You can modify the length and loudness of first tones using the #*5n and #*6n commands below.
If you don't want to change the DTMF tone settings, please turn to Using the Dialer on page 13.
