9. Touch Tones
Your phone is a “Touch Tone” phone, meaning that it
creates certain sounds when you press the keys.
These sounds can be used for many automated, over-
the-phone services such as checking your bank
balance, using your voice mailbox options, and even
checking airplane arrival and departure times.
Touch Tones are called “DTMF” (Dual Tone
Multifrequency) tones in the phone.
Sending Individual
TouchTones
Press keys during call.
Touch Tones can be used only when a call is active. You
would use the Individual Touch Tone feature when, for
example, you are prompted to “press 1 and then the
star (*) button”. You would simply press 1 *.
Note: Individual Touch Tones can be sent only if Menu 4
3 is not set to Off. Menu 4 3 is described in this section.

You can transmit Touch Tones one by one by pressing
the keypad during a call. Additionally, you can store a
whole digit sequence in a memory location and send it
as Touch Tones. You could use this for frequently-used
strings of numbers, such as your bank account
number.
The phone sends (as Touch Tones) the digits that are
currently on the display. You may also press and hold
