Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial/Conventional Mode
Once the radio has established a connection to the public telephone system, it
may be necessary to “over-dial” more digits to access banking services,
answering machines, credit card calls, or other types of systems that require
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) access digits.
