• SET TOUCH TONE STRINGS

Your phone allows you to create special sets of numbers known as touch
tone strings which will dial a series of digits after a “wait” or a “pause.”
For example, you can program your phone to send your account number
while you are banking by phone.

You must be in the

mode to enter these characters. Enter the

numbers as usual. When you want to insert the special characters, press

repeatedly to switch among *, +, p, w characters.

Note: Use caution when sending confidential information if voice
privacy is not active.

p

Creates a pause when a number is dialed. The numbers you enter after
this special character are automatically sent as touch tones after a
2.5-second pause.

w

Creates a wait when a number is dialed. This means that your phone
waits for you to press

before it sends the number as touch tones.

*

Sends command strings to the network. Contact your service provider

for details.

+ Use this character to link a 1-touch dialing number to a number in

the phone book.

• LINK PHONE BOOK ENTRIES

This feature allows you to store a phone number in one phone book
location and link it to another phone book entry.

For example, linking the phone number of an automated service (example:
automated banking service) with a touch tone string entry in your phone
book (example: account and PIN numbers) automatically recalls and
sends the touch tone string when you call the service.

1

Store the touch tone string into your phone book.

2

Assign the phone book entry with the touch tones to a one-touch dialing
location (example: location 3). For more information on 1-touch dialing,
see “Use 1-touch dialing” on page 74.

Edit the automated service’s phone number by adding
