Programming Special Characters
MLX Display Telephones
Some dialing sequences need special characters. For example, the user would
press Hold to insert a Pause in a dialing sequence after a dial-out code to allow
the system to seize an outside line before dialing the number. A Pause can also
be used to separate a telephone number from an extension number.
