If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you can change from dial pulse to
touch tone dialing during a call by pressing t. This is useful if you
need to send touch tone signals for access to telephone banking or long-
distance services.

2 Press and release t. Buttons pressed after this send touch
tone signals.
3 After you hang up, the phone automatically returns to rotary
service.
Conference Calls
This feature lets you set up a three-party call by using two lines at the same
time. You can also join an intercom call with a call on an outside line.

Press and release H. The light of the line on hold flashes, and a
double-beep sounds every 30 seconds to remind you the call is on hold.

hold and activate the intercom.

To activate this feature, press and release m. The MUTE light goes on.
To return to the conversation, press and release m again.
