Press ≤•· while programming a dialling sequence.
Wait for Dial Tone causes a sequence of numbers to pause until
dial tone is present on the line before continuing to dial. This is
useful if you must dial a remote system and then wait for dial tone
from that system before dialling the rest of your number.
The Wait for Dial Tone symbol (‡) uses two of the 24 spaces in
an Autodial or Speed Dial sequence.

If your external telephone lines use pulse dialling, you can
temporarily switch to tone dialling by pressing £ after selecting
the line. Tone dialling allows your system telephone to
communicate with devices and services that respond to tone
signals, such as automatic switchboards and fax or answering
machines.
You have entered a code that can only be
used in a programmed Autodial or Speed
Dial sequence, not on a call you dial
directly. Programmed Release and
Run/Stop are for use in programmed
dialling sequences only.
