DESCRIPTION
You may need to program a pause, stop, or switchhook flash into an Outside
“-
Auto Dial, a Personal Speed Dial, or a System Speed Dial sequence, or you
may need to switch from rotary to Touch-Tone signals in the middle of a
programmed dialing sequence.
To do so, you must enter special characters
when you program the sequence.
In a behind-switch system, you enter host system codes beginning with the
pound sign ( # ) as described in the documentation for the host system. To
use a MERLIN II system code beginning with the pound sign, you must
program a Speed Dial Access button.
You touch that button instead of
touching #, then dial the digits of the code.
