<a name="pt_howto"></a><b>How to Use PhoneTone</b>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
PhoneTone dials your TouchTone phone by using the speaker built into your
Pocket PC to generate
TouchTone (also known as DTMF) tones. Enter a number by
selecting a Contact from the list on your screen, or "dialing" a
number with the buttons on PhoneTone's onscreen keypad.
The phone number you've selected or entered appears in the Display Box
at the top left of your screen.
Hold your Pocket PC speaker up to a telephone's mouthpiece, and
push the <b>Dial</b> button to dial or redial the number you see.
<li>
You also can edit or enter a number using your Pocket PC onscreen keyboard, and dial it
with the onscreen <b>Dial</b> button or by pressing the <b>Action</b> button.
<li>
You can set up and use PhoneTone's <b>Speed Dial</b> buttons to dial a phone number
with just one touch.
You can choose
<b>Show Speed Buttons</b> from the <b>View</b> menu to switch between displaying the
Contacts view, the Keybad view, and the Speed Buttons view.
Select <b>Speed Dialing</b> from the
<b>Tools</b> menu to set up your Speed Dial Buttons. Your Speed Dial buttons
can include any sequence you want to dial, including extension numbers,
access codes, passwords, etc. You can have up to 12 Speed Dial numbers.
<li>
PhoneTone uses the intelligence built in to the Pocket PC to determine whether
to set any selected phone number as <b>Local</b> or <b>Long-Distance</b>. You can
override this with selections on the Edit menu.
<li>
Depending on the </b>Location</b> you have set
in your Pocket PC Settings, you may also see additional numbers before or after the number
you've chosen. See <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_location">Setting Up Your Pocket PC Locations</a> to
set up PhoneTone and Locations to work best for you.
<li>
You can use the leftmost list on the menu bar to select from more than one phone number
set up for a contact, and the rightmost list to select
a calling card you've set up within PhoneTone. See <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_cards">
PhoneTone's Calling Cards</a> to learn how to set up Calling Cards within PhoneTone to work
best for you.
<li>
PhoneTone can also be useful for navigating phone mail systems or retrieving phone
messages when you're at a rotary phone, overseas, or at any phone that does not generate
compatible tones. PhoneTone generates North American standard tones, so if the phone you
are using is built to use a different standard, PhoneTone can generate the tones your phone
mail system will recognize.

<a name="pt_tips"></a><b>PhoneTone Tips</b>
<h4>Making Calls</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
You can make PhoneTone pause before dialing if you want to select or enter
the number <b><i>before</i></b> putting your Pocket PC against the phone receiver. Use the
<b>Timing</b>
pick on the <b>Tools</b> menu to set this up. This pick will also let you make
the tones and pauses between them longer (or shorter) if your phone system requires
it.
<li>
While PhoneTone will work best when the tones are as loud as possible, you don't have
to have your Pocket PC volume at its loudest all the time. Instead, pick <b>Dialing</b>
from PhoneTone's <b>Tools</b> menu and check <b>Set volume to highest level when
dialing</b>. You do need to have the <b>Enable Sounds for
Progams</b> option in your Pocket PC "Volume & Sounds Properties" Settings selected in order for PhoneTone to work.
</ul>
<h4>Getting the Most out of PhoneTone</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Set up <b>Speed Dial</b> buttons for the numbers you dial the most. These can
include extension numbers, calling cards, passwords, etc. -- any set of numbers,
including pauses, you'd like to dial. You can have up to 12 Speed Numbers.
<li>
You can <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_cards">set up calling cards</a> <b><i>within</i></b>
PhoneTone, and easily switch between them and choose one when you need it.
<li>
Sort your Contacts by Name or by Company by touching the column heading. Selecting
Name will switch between sorting by First or Last name. Use the tabs
on your left, or the <b>Find tool</b> to quickly locate a Contact. Use the box on
the menu bar to select between more than one number available for one Contact.
<li>
Dial a number from the <b>Contacts</b> by picking the contact and then selecting
<b>Tools->Dial Contact</b>.
</ul>
<h4>Numbers Dialed</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
You can enter special characters into the Display Box, or include them in
Locations or calling cards to pause dialing, either until you indicate to
continue (for example, when waiting for a calling card prompt), or for a set amount
of time (for example, when you need to dial 9 for an outside line). See
<a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_chars">How Characters are Dialed</a> for
complete information.
<li>
In addition to selecting numbers from Contacts, you can enter numbers
or special characters manually into the dial
area, or edit any number selected from the Contacts list using your Pocket PC onscreen keyboard.
<li>
PhoneTone will work seamlessly with your Pocket PC Locations and Contacts
to completely automate your local, long distance and international calls,
including access codes and calling cards.
See <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_location">Setting Up Your Pocket PC
Locations</a> and <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_format">Telephone Number Formats</a>
for to see how to set this up numbers and locations to work best.
<li>
You can override your Pocket PC intelligence about local and long distance phone numbers
with the selections on the <b>Edit</b> menu.

<a name="pt_contacts"></a><b>PhoneTone and Contacts</b>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Use the Contacts list to retrieve phone numbers from your Contacts database.
<li>
Use the tabs at the left side of the list to quickly navigate to names beginning with any letter.
You can also type a letter to scroll to names starting with that letter.
Tap the column headers to sort your Contacts by last name, first name or company. Tapping
the left column header alternates between last name order and first name order.
<li>
To search for a specific entry in a large database, pick <b>Find</b> from the <b>Edit</b>
menu, or use the <b>Find tool</b> on the command bar. Enter the name you're looking for and
select searching in Name, Company or Both fields. Press OK to start the search. The
search always begins at the currently selected Contact.
<li>
If you select or find a Contact with more than one phone number, you can select which of the
phone numbers will be retrieved using the leftmost drop-down list in the Contacts view. Use the <b>Settings...</b>
choice on the <b>Tools</b> menu to change which phone number is selected by default.
<li>
The Display Box at the top of the screen
shows how the selected number will be dialed. This may include:
<ul type="square">
<li>translation to local or long-distance dialing
<li>prefixes or formatting you've set up in <b>Locations</b>, and
<li>and any <b>Calling Card</b> information you've added to PhoneTone.
</ul>
<b>Number Translation:</b> PhoneTone uses the intelligence provided with your Pocket PC's
operating system to determine when
to add country codes, city or area codes, access codes and other components. This
intelligence works best when you've set up your <b>Contacts</b> and <b>Location</b> as
your Pocket PC device expects. (See
<a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_format">Telephone Number Formats</a> for details.)
You can override the country, city and area codes logic by using the
<b>Force to Local</b>, <b>Force to Long Distance</b> or <b>No Translation</b> picks on the
<b>Edit</b> menu to manually choose whether country, city and area codes are added.
The <b>Auto Translate</b> pick tells PhoneTone to use your <b>Location</b> information to
choose the right format.
<li>
<b>Locations:</b> Your Pocket PC has Locations information set up as part of your
<b>Communications Properties</b>. PhoneTone, as well as other programs, use
this information. You can get to this information within
PhoneTone from the <b>Locations</b> pick on the <b>Tools</b> menu.
The <b>Dialing</b> tab on this window allows you to
select the location you are dialing from and to customize the dialing prefixes and
formatting for each location. See <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_location">Setting Up Your Pocket PC
Locations</a> for information and examples.
<li>
<b>Calling Cards:</b> PhoneTone lets you set up calling cards or other numbers
or codes that are added to your selected Contact's number. Use the rightmost
box on the command bar to choose any (or no) calling card. See
<a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_cards">PhoneTone's Calling Cards</a> for information and on how
to set these up.
<li>
Once you see the telephone number you want in the Display Box,
simply press the <b>Dial</b> button to dial the number.

<a name="pt_cards"></a><b>PhoneTone's Calling Cards</b>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
The <b>Calling Cards</b> pick on the <b>Tools</b> menu lets you set up
numbers to dial before or after any selected Contact in PhoneTone. These will
often be calling cards and their associated access numbers, but do not
have to be. They can be any sequence of numbers you'd find useful.
<li>
Once you've set up the sequences for all your calling cards, you can easily pick
which one you want to use at any time from the rightmost box in the
command bar within PhoneTone. Select <b>No Card</b> if you don't want
to use any of the cards you've set up.
<li>
For each card you can specify up to two character sequences: one to dial <b><i>before</b></i>
the number and one to dial <b><i>after</i></b> it. For example, you may want a long distance
company's access number before the phone number, and your calling card number
after it.
Either sequence can be blank, and any of the characters
described in <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_chars">How Characters are Dialed</a> may be used.
<li>
These sequences <b><i>do not</b></i> have to be calling cards or access
numbers; they can be any sequence you'd like appended to your selected Contact
phone number.
<li>
You can require a password to access your credit card information if you like. Tools->Set Password
to set your password. You can always lock out access again by pressing the lock button in the menu area.
<li>
Each time you select a contact from your Contacts list, the telephone numbers will
first be translated using your current <b>Location</b> information. Then the
calling card sequences you've set up will be added to the beginning and the end of
the translated number.
</ul>
<h4>Calling Cards and Locations</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Using the Calling Cards within PhoneTone is an alternative to setting up additional Locations
with calling card information. This can be a very convenient way to easily switch
cards. When setting these up, you will need to make sure that the Locations
and calling cards you set up will work together. Remember that any Locations translation
happens first, then PhoneTone's calling card information is added. PhoneTone's
calling card information will be added only to the very beginning or end of the translated
number, not inside any Locations calling patterns.
<li>
For example, to set up a calling sequence to dial
<p>
<table cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>9,</b></td>
<td>to get an outside line from work </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>102880</b></td>
<td>to access your long-distance carrier</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>212 555 6666</b></td>
<td>to reach the person you wanted, and </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>102880</b></td>
<td>to supply your calling card number </td>
</tr>
</table>
<li>
You need to either have the <b>9,</b> and the <b>102880</b> in a PhoneTone
calling card, or both in Locations. You can't have the 9 in Locations and
the access number in PhoneTone, as Locations translation happens first.
<li>
Remember that you can put any calling sequences in the PhoneTone calling
cards. They don't have to be your actual calling card or access numbers.

<a name="pt_location"></a><b>Setting Up Your Pocket PC Locations</b>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Your Pocket PC has Locations information set up as part of your
<b>Communications Properties</b>. Locations let you specify
different ways of dialing a phone or modem, depending on the
location you're calling from. For example, for calling from work
you might want to begin all numbers with a <b>9</b>. From
pay phones, you might want to include a calling card number.
<li>
Locations also let you specify
information about the geographical location you're calling
from, which enables the Pocket PC to translate phone numbers into
local or long-distance formats as appropriate. For example,
telling Locations you're dialing from the <b>313</b> area code
lets the Pocket PC automatically <b><i>not</i></b> include the (313)
when translating a phone number.
<li>
Setting up locations correctly lets PhoneTone and other communications
programs
<b><i>automatically</b></i> add access codes, country, city and area codes, and calling card
numbers to the phone numbers you select.
<li>
You can get to your Locations information within
PhoneTone from the <b>Locations</b> pick on the <b>Tools</b> menu.
The <b>Dialing</b> tab on the window you'll see allows you to
select the location you are dialing from and to customize the dialing prefixes and
formatting for each location.
<li>
You can select any of the dialing locations established
(using the "When dialing from:" list)
or create a new location.
Use the <b>Change Dialing Options Help</b> for details on how to
set up locations correctly and use the options provided.
</ul>
<h4>Location Contents</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Combine locations with the <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_chars">special characters</a>
recognized by PhoneTone for added power and ease-of-use. For example,
to use your calling card
for long distance calls you make from pay phones only, you would:
<ul>
<li> set up a new location, named Pay (using the <b>New ...</b> button), then
<li> add the special character "<b>$</b>" followed by your calling card number to the
Long Distance dialing pattern (using the <b>Edit ...</b> button).
</ul>
Now when you've picked <b>Pay</b> as your location, PhoneTone will add your calling card
number to any long distance number. PhoneTone will wait until <b><i>you</b></i> hear the
calling card "bong" and choose <b>OK</b> from its prompt before dialing your calling card
number. You'll be able to use this setup with your Pocket PC modem too.
<li>
For best results, you should make sure the phone numbers in your Contacts Database are set
up in the <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_format">Telephone Number Formats</a> expected by
the Pocket PC.
</ul>
<h4>PhoneTone Cards and Locations</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
You can also set up calling cards and other dialing
information <b><i>within</b></i> PhoneTone. These
will not be used by other programs, but can easily be selected
within PhoneTone itself.
<li>
When you do this, you need to be aware of how PhoneTone's calling cards
work with your Pocket PC's Locations. See
<a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_cards">PhoneTone's Calling Cards</a> for
how to do this.

<a name="pt_format"></a><b>Telephone Number Formats</b>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
PhoneTone uses the intelligence built into the Pocket PC to determine when to add country,
city and area codes to a number you're dialing. If you set up your Contacts database using
the following consistent format, country, city and area codes will always be used when
appropriate by PhoneTone and any other program which utilizes the Pocket PC logic.
<li>
Remember that access codes, calling card numbers, and other control information are
determined by your <b>location</b>, and that only country, city and area codes are
controlled by the telephone number formats. See <a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_location">
Setting Up Your Pocket PC Locations</a> for more information.
<li>
Also remember that you can tell PhoneTone <b><i>not</i></b> to utilize the
Pocket PC phone number logic, using picks on PhoneTone's <b>Edit</b> menu.
<li>
The standard format for telephone numbers is called <b><i>Canonical Form</i></b>.
Numbers in this form start with the plus sign (<b>+</b>), followed by the country code,
area or city code, and subscriber's telephone number. The complete sequence for a telephone
number in this form is either:
<br><br>
+countrycode (areacode) subscribernumber
<br><br>or<br><br>
+countrycode (citycode) subscribernumber
<li>
This is the international standard for specifying telephone numbers, as well as the format
used by the Pocket PC.
<li>
If all the phone numbers in your Contacts Database are in this form, PhoneTone will work
very well with no changes needed. However, as you may already have a lot of Contacts
in your database that are not entered this way, PhoneTone tries to accommodate phone numbers
that are not in this form as follows.
<li>
If a phone number in Contacts does not start with a plus sign, PhoneTone will
add a plus sign and a country code to the beginning of the phone number using the country code
you have configured in the <b>Dialing Options</b> dialog box (pick <b>Dialing...</b> from the
<b>Tools</b> menu to see this dialog). In addition, if there is no area code or country
code present (indicated by the absence of parentheses) PhoneTone will add the area code you
have configured using <b>Dialing Options</b>. This still may not always
be sufficient or correct, so you may need to use the <b>Force To Local</b>, <b>Force to
Long Distance</b> or <b>No Translation</b> menu picks (under <b>Edit</b>), or you may
need to edit the number in the Display Box.
<li>
You can also use the <b>Ignore spaces in phone numbers</b> choice on <b>Dialing Options</b>
to tell PhoneTone to remove any spaces embedded in your phone numbers before allowing the
Pocket PC to translate them.

<!-- ************************Topic Break************************* -->
<a name="pt_opts"></a><b>PhoneTone Options</b>
<p>
PhoneTone has many options you can change to make it work best with
your phone systems, the Contacts you have set up, and your personal
preferences.
<h4>Translation Options</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
PhoneTone uses the Pocket PC's built-in intelligence to determine when
to use country codes, city or area codes, access codes and other components with
your phone numbers. This
intelligence works best when you've set up your <b>Contacts</b> and <b>Location</b> as
the Pocket PC system expects (see
<a href="PhoneTone Help.htm#pt_format">Telephone Number Formats</a> for details).
If you don't have the numbers
in Contacts recorded as the Pocket expects, or your local dialing follows
different rules, you can use the following options to override the number
translation and
choose whether country, city and area codes are added.
<table>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>Force to Local</b></td>
<td>will remove area, city or country codes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>Force to Long Distance</b> </td>
<td>will always add recognized area, city and country codes to the number, even if they're
the same as the location you're in</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>No Translation</b></td>
<td>will use the number just as you entered it in Contacts </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>Auto Translate</b></td>
<td>will return to using your <b>Location</b> information to translate the number.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ul>
<h4>Dialing Options</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
If your Contacts phone numbers do not contain country and area codes,
you can specify them in the <b>Dialing Options</b> window. PhoneTone will then
use these when translating your phone numbers. Note that you're specifying
the country and area codes <b><i> to be included in phone numbers without
them</b></i> here, not the country and area code where you currently are
calling from.
<li>
You can also use this window to choose whether PhoneTone interprets spaces within
a phone number as a "stop", or ignores them. In addition, you can tell PhoneTone to
always use your Pocket PC's loudest volume (that is, to ignore your normal Pocket PC volume).
</ul>
<h4>Timing Options</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Use this pick to tell PhoneTone how long to make tones, explicit pauses (specified
by the comma in a number) and pauses between tones. Some phone systems may require
longer tones than others. You can also tell PhoneTone to wait a specified amount
of time between your pressing the <b>Dial</b> button and sounding the actual tones.
This will allow you to position your Pocket PC against the telephone receiver.
</ul>
<h4>Settings Options</h4>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
You can switch between telephone numbers stored for any Contact using the convenient
control on PhoneTone's command bar. However, you can choose which number is chosen
by default using the <b>Settings</b> window.

<a name="pt_chars"></a><b>How Characters are Dialed</b>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
PhoneTone recognizes several special characters to indicate certain actions should be taken.
You can use these characters to program PhoneTone to handle sophisticated dialing sequences.
The following list shows how PhoneTone interprets characters:
<table CELLSPACING="3" CELLPADDING="3">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>numbers</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone generates the TouchTone tones for numbers.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>letters</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone translates each letter into the number it corresponds to on a standard
telephone keypad and generates its TouchTone tone. Note that <b>E, F</b> and <b>G</b> have
special meanings in the <b>Dialing Patterns</b> (in <b>Locations</b>) fields.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>, (comma)</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone pauses for half a second or the amount of time you specify in <b>Timing
Options</b>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>$ (dollarsign)</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone prompts you to wait for a Billing Signal. Press OK or the Enter key to
continue dialing after you hear the signal.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>@ (atsign)</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone prompts you to wait for an answer. Press OK or the Enter key to continue
dialing after the call is answered. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>? (question mark)</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone allows you to wait before continuing for any reason. Press OK or the Enter
key to continue dialing. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>! (exclamation point)</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone prompts you to press the switchhook, or <i><b>flash</b></i>. Press OK or the
Enter key to continue dialing after the flash. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>/ (slash)</b></td>
<td>PhoneTone stops dialing, even if there are more characters following the slash.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<li>
All other characters are simply skipped over. This allows you to insert parentheses, dashes
or other characters to format the number. You can choose whether PhoneTone should skip
spaces or use a space as a stop character in <b>Dialing Options</b>.
<li>
While PhoneTone's actions are essentially the same for many of the special characters (those
