codes for your voice mailbox.

rently on the display. You may also press and hold left

To store a Touch Tone string

Store Touch Tone strings the same way as you store
phone numbers.

For example, you could store a voice mail number in the
personal directory.

To store Touch Tone strings with a phone
number

1) Key in the phone number.

2) Press

∗∗∗

(p) or

∗∗∗∗

(w).

3) Key in the Touch Tone string.

4) Store the number in the normal way.

∗∗∗

creates a “p” (pause) character. When you recall this

number sequence from memory and press

í

, the

phone dials the phone number, pauses 2.5 seconds, then
sends the DTMF digits. You can add as many “p”
characters as you need to get the right delay time.

∗∗∗∗

creates a “w” (wait) character. When you recall this

number sequence from memory and press

í

, the

phone dials the phone number, then waits for you to press
the left

ñ

(DTMF).

This is handy if you are calling a num-

ber that then prompts you to enter information, such as
someone’s phone extension.

To link a stored phone number to DTMF
digits in another memory location

1) Key in the phone number.

2) Press

∗∗

(+).

3) Key in memory location storing the DTMF string.

4) Store the number in the normal way.

Use this if the phone number and DTMF digits do not fit in
one storage location; it links the phone number to the
memory location storing the DTMF string.

∗∗

creates a “+” (link to another memory location). When

you recall this number sequence from memory and press

í

, the phone dials the phone number, then displays

digits stored in the memory location you have entered.
Press left

ñ

(DTMF)

to send them.

Entering only a “+” at the end of a stored number causes
the phone to prompt you for a memory location after the
call is connected. The phone expects a memory location
after the “+” character. Enter a location number and press
left

ñ

(OK)

. Then press left

ñ

(DTMF)

when the

phone displays the digits stored in that memory location.
