Pause Dialing
When you call an automated system (like a bank or voicemail
"teleservice"), you are usually required to enter a password
or account number. Instead of entering the numbers manual-
ly each time, you can store the numbers in your Phone Book,
separated by special characters called pauses.
Here is the definition of how a pause works on your phone:
A digit that stops the dialing sequence until you press the
button.

Your phone has two pause dialing methods: pause dialing
from the Phone Book (see "Pause Dialing From a Stored
Phone Book Entry" on page 33) and manual pause dialing
(see "Manual Pause Dialing" on page 33).
Storing Pauses in a Phone Book Entry
To store a number in your Phone Book that contains pauses:
1. Enter the phone number you want to connect to (such as
the bank's teleservice phone number).
2. Press
to insert a pause.The letter "p" displays in the
MENU
number, meaning that a hard pause will occur at that
point in the dialing sequence.
Note: The digits before the "p" dial the tele-service.The "p"
stops the dialing and waits for the teleservice to prompt you
for a number.The number following the "p" is your account
number, PIN, etc.
3. Enter the digits that need to follow the pause (such as
your account number).
4. Store the number as you normally would by pressing the
key and entering a name.
