DTMF Autodialer Operation
Ten autodial memories, labeled 1 - 9, and USr, store
DTMF tone sequences of up to 16 digits. Memory
USr is reserved for storing a user-composed ringer
melody, and is covered shortly. You may assign a
name up to 6 characters to each DTMF auto-dial
memory, to be displayed when the memory is re-
called. This can help you to identify whose numbers
you have stored. The same character set and proce-
dure is used for autodialer memory naming. Auto-
dialer memories can be used for remote DTMF
control sequences or telephone numbers for re-
peater or personal autopatch systems.
The DTMF autodial memory feature is toggled on or
off via menu programming and:a: is displayed at the
center of the lower display when autodialing is acti-
vated. To store DTMF Autodialer Memories and en-
able the function, refer to menu functions 9
&
10, on
