Sending DTMF tones

The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones al-
low you to communicate with voice mailboxes,
computerised telephony systems, etc. Besides the
numbers 0 - 9, you can also use the characters p,
w
, * and # (for information on the functions of
these characters, see chapter 3 "Contacts: Con-
tact cards - Storing DTMF tones" on page 3-3).

To send a DTMF sequence when you have an ac-

tive call:

1

Key the digits from the communicator inter-
face keyboard. Each keystroke will generate a
DTMF tone which will be transmitted directly.

Or alternatively,

1

Press Send DTMF. A list of stored DTMF se-
quences is shown (for information on how to
store DTMF sequences, see chapter 3 "Con-
tacts: Contact cards - Storing DTMF tones" on
page 3-3).

2

Select a DTMF sequence. You can edit the se-
quence, or, if there are no stored sequences,
you can enter the DTMF string manually into
the field.

3

Press Send to send the DTMF sequence shown
in the input field, at the bottom of the display.

Note: You cannot access the DTMF view during

a conference call. However, you can send
DTMF tones during a conference call by
entering the digits from the keyboard.
