Tone Dialing Switch-over
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.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call
connects, press
/tone/ t 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.
• 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 44.)
