Speed dials
The Speed dials command (see Figure 3-1) lets
you assign speed dials to eight phone numbers.
Number 1 is reserved for calling your voice mail-
box (see Chapter 4 "Telephone: Making a call -
Calling your voice mailbox" on page 4-7). For in-
formation on how to use the speed dials, see
Chapter 13 "Phone interface: Using memory -
Dialing shortcuts" on page 13-5.
To set speed dials:
• Press Speed dials in an opened contact card.
All phone number fields of the contact card
are shown.
‚ Select a field to which you want to assign a
speed dial and press Change. Select a loca-
tion and press OK.
To change or remove speed dials:
• Select the speed dial you want to change or
remove and press Change.
‚ Move the selection frame to the location you
want to use and press OK. If you want to re-
move a speed dial location, choose None and
press OK.
Storing DTMF tones
The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones are
the touch tones you hear when you make a call.
DTMF tones allow you to communicate with
voice mailboxes, computerized telephony sys-
tems, etc. For information on how to send DTMF
tones, see Chapter 4 "Telephone: Conference call
- Sending DTMF tones" on page 4-8, and Chapter
13 "Phone interface: Sending DTMF tones" on
page 13-3.
If you use only DTMF tones to make a call
(e.g., calling your bank for automated balance
information), you can create a contact card for
the DTMF contact that will facilitate the call and
allow you to enter a string of numbers, such as
your personal identification code.
If you use both voice and DTMF tones, you can
customize an existing contact card to include
the DTMF tones you will be using.
To store a DTMF sequence:
• Use the Tel field. Enter the telephone number,
then one of the DTMF special characters,
then the DTMF sequence. You may want to
change the field label (with Change label) to
recognize the DTMF contact.
‚ Or, use a separate DTMF field. Add a DTMF
field in the contact card and enter the DTMF
sequence.
The DTMF special characters are listed in the
following table:
Records
The Contacts application Record function allows
you to view all communications as one of two
records: a General record or an Individual record.
You can use the General record (Figure 3-2) to
create a new contact card.
The records contain the following information
listed in chronological order:
Character Function
* and #
May be used if the DTMF service
requires them
p (pause)
Inserts a pause of 2.5 seconds in
front of, or between, DTMF digits
w (wait)
When the “w” character is
stored in a sequence, the rest of
the sequence is not sent until
you press Send again in the
Telephone application.
