DBS 824-3.0/3.2-700

Revised April 2000

(CPC-S and CPC-M)

This feature allows an extension user to switch from DP to DTMF signaling 
when using a DP trunk.

For instance, if a user dials into a voice mail system using a DP trunk, the user 
can switch to DTMF signaling to communicate with the voice mail system.

DTMF tones can be sent either during the call or while the call is being 
dialed.

To switch from dial pulse to DTMF dialing, press “*” or “#.”

• FF2 (Trunk): DTMF/Pulse Dialing for Trunks

• DTMF dialing remains in effect for the duration of the call. Pulse dialing is 

restored when the handset is replaced.

• Once DTMF dialing is invoked, the user cannot switch back to pulse 

dialing without disconnecting the call.

• Changing from dial pulse to DTMF is possible even if the “*” or “#” key is 

programmed for speed dialing.
