Nokia 5185i - Touch tones

40

Touch tones can be used for many automated services such
as checking voice mail, movie times, and airline arrival/
departure times.

Note: Sending confidential information over the air using
touch tones is not recommended.

Setting manual touch tone length

Use Menu 4 2 1 1 to set the length of touch tones created
when you press a key:

Continuous sounds the tone for as long as you press and
hold the key.

Fixed sets the tone length to one tenth of a second, regardless
of how long you press and hold the key.

Off turns off touch tones. No tones are sent when you press
the keys.

Setting automatic touch tone length

Use Menu 4 2 1 2 to set the length of touch tones sent
automatically by the phone to Short (one tenth of a second)
or Long (half a second).

Saving touch tone strings

Touch tone strings can be used for sending and receiving
information with your phone. Save touch tone strings the
same way you save phone numbers (see ‘Saving names and
numbers’ on page 19).

For example, you can save your office voice mailbox number
along with your password for easy access to your messages
(see ‘Special characters in phone numbers’ on page 12).
