Tone Dialing
Many long distance services re-
quire that you send it tones, pro-
duced by tone dialing. To get
TELCOM to tone dial, change
10 pps to T:
M7I1ENN,O,T (ENTER)
Your local telephone system may
not be able to use tone dialing.
If not, you can still send tones to
a long distance service as
follows:
1. Set TELCOM for tone
dialing.
2. Using manual dialing, call
the long distance service. (By
dialing manually, you are using
pulse dialing, which your local
telephone system requires.)
3. Wait for the long distance
service to give its signal.
(Typically, this is a long, audible
tone.)
4. Using the CALL key,
autodial the expected numbers.
(By autodialing, you are using
tone dialing, which your long
distance service requires.)
Storing Pauses in Autodial
Sequences
Assume that you use a long
distance service, and you nor-
mally dial Joe Shmow with
this sequence:
1. First you dial the long
distance service's number
(335-4190).
2. Then you pause for about 4
seconds for the service to sound
a tone.
3. Then you dial account infor-
mation (548-559), followed by
Joe Shmow's number
(1-214/876-2222).
You can store this entire se-
quence in ADRS.DO with 2
equal signs (=)—each stores a
2-second pause:
Joe Shmow :335-4190
= =548-559/1-214/876-2222:
815 Maple,
Dallas, TX, 75219
The above example assumes you
do not need to switch modes
(tone/pulse) while dialing the
number. You can switch modes
only one way: by manually using
the STAT key.
