Touch tones
Your phone can generate various sounds, called touch tones,
when the keys are pressed.
Touch tones can be used for many automated, over-the-phone
services such as voice mail, calling cards, and checking airline
arrival/departure times and bank balances.
Note: Sending confidential information over the air using
touch tones is not recommended in analog mode.
Setting touch tone length
Use Menu 4 3 3 to set touch-tone length to Short (100 ms.)
or Long (500 ms.).

Saving touch tone strings
Touch tone strings can be used for sending and receiving
information with your phone. Save touch tone strings the
same way you save phone numbers (see page 26).
For example, you can save your office voice mailbox number
along with your password for easy access to your messages.
See ‘Special characters in phone numbers’ on page 14.
