Some telephone services(such as telephone answering machine and
pager) require your telephone to transmit DTMF tones(Dual Tone Multi-
Frequency), also known as “touch tones”. These are used to communicate
passwords, call back numbers, and so on.
Wait Characters
To obtain a wait character, press and hold . The display shows P for
a wait. The phone always interprets the P as a wait character.
When you dial a number containing a wait character, your phone dials the
first part(the phone number) and then waits for the call to be connected
before sending the rest of the digits as DTMF tones.
Interrogating your Answering Machine(example)

(password 5452) at phone number 12345678, you can call:
12345678P5452.The phone dials 12345678 and waits for the call to
connect. When connected, the phone transmits 5452(the password).
During a Call
When you need to send DTMF tone, just press the numbers, then DTMF
tone will be sent.
