Storing Special Numbers in the Phone Book
Using the Pause Feature
Generally, when you call an automated system like voicemail boxes or
credit card companies, you are required to enter a password or calling
card number. Rather than entering the numbers manually each time, you
can store the numbers in your Internal Phone Book, separated by special
characters called “pauses”.
Using Two Different Types of Pauses
There are two different types of pauses that you can use when storing a
number in your Internal Phone Book.
Hard Pause

Finish entering the rest of the numbers, then dial or save the entered
number. See pages 26-27 for saving.
Using Hyphens
You can add hyphens to your Internal Phone Book numbers, however they
are mainly for show. You can insert hyphens manually where you like, or
choose automatic hyphenation, which inserts hyphens according to the
North American Numbering Plan. Entering a manual hyphen suspends
any automatic hyphenation for that number.
