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/< on the handset or base. 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.
