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. 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.
