Pause dialing
When you call automated systems (like banking services), you are
often required to enter a password or account number. Instead of
manually entering the numbers each time, you can store the
numbers in your phone book, separated by special characters
called pauses.
There are two kinds of pauses that can be entered on your phone:
• “Hard pause” stops the dialing sequence until you press .
• Timed pause (two-second pause) stops the dialing sequence for
two seconds and then automatically sends the remaining digits.
Your phone has two pause dialing methods:
• Pause dialing from the phone book (P.37)
• Manual pause dialing (P.38).
Note
Multiple two second pauses can be entered to extend the length of a
pause. For example, two consecutive two second pauses gives a total
pause time of four seconds.
However, keep in mind that pauses are counted as digits towards the 32 digit
dialing maximum.
Tip
Refer to page 77 for storing pauses in the phone book entry.
