Some telephone companies use equipment
that requires pulse dialing (sometimes
referred to as rotary dialing). If you need to
enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-
over to tone dialing during the call. This
feature is useful when you need tone dialing
to use automated systems, for example,
entering your bank account number after
you have called your bank.

Ô

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing
mode. Once your call connects, press

/tone/<

. Enter the desired number. These

digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the
call ends, the tone mode is canceled and
pulse dialing mode resumes.

Ô

NOTES

Ô

The tone feature only
applies when the dial
mode is set to pulse.
This special number can
be stored in a memory
location.

This is referred to as
Chain Dialing (see page
39).
