If memory serves
You have a 4x4 grid with the numbers on, and each row and column has a frequency. So you play a two-note chord (of a sort) for each key-press.
EDIT: Hey, I was pretty close

Wait - you dial a number, and they confirm you dialled it correctly,
but tell you that you wanted a slightly different number, and somehow know what it is?
