Touch Tones - Nokia 5160 Owner's Manual

Touch tones

Your phone can generate various sounds, called touch tones,
when the keys are pressed.
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 0HQX 4 2 1 1 to set the length of touch tones created
when you press a key:
&RQWLQXRXV means the tone sounds for as long as you press
and hold the key.
)L[HG sets the tone length to one tenth of a second,
regardless of how long you press and hold the key.
2II turns off touch tones. No tones will be sent when you
press the keys.
Setting automatic touch tone length
Use 0HQX 4 2 1 2 to set the length of touch tones sent
automatically by the phone to 6KRUW (one tenth of a second)
or /RQJ (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 page 17).
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.
