Run/Stop

Run/Stop inserts a break point into a sequence of dialed numbers or characters used for automatic
dialing. This can be necessary when you are connecting to a PBX or similar host system.
For example: you can call a company with an automated attendant that instructs you to dial the
internal number you need. You can program the company number, a Run/Stop, then the internal
number on one external autodial button. Press the autodial button one time to dial the company
number. When you hear the automated attendant, press the autodial button again to dial the internal
number.

dialing sequence.

Wait for Dial Tone
