6. Placing Calls
6.1 The Pound Key
The pound key (#) is used by the Max 8 and Max
8 Plus to indicate the end of a dial string. If the
pound key is omitted, the Max waits three seconds
for additional input, then places the call. This delay
is adjustable through a HyperTerminal connection.
For details, see Sections 10 and 11 in the Max 8
