Menus 4 3 and 4 4, Manual DTMF Tones
and Auto DTMF Length
Because your phone is a touch tone phone, it creates

certain sounds when you press its keys. These tones 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. These two features set the length of your

phone’s touch tones when pressed manually or sent

automatically.
See “Touch Tone Settings” on page 50 for details.

Menu 4 5, Network Time
You can set your phone to display the day of the week,

date and time when your phone is in idle state and during

functions in areas where digital service is available.
