Speed DialSpeed Dial gives you quick access to frequently called numbers. Thereare two types of Speed Dial: Personal and System. Each Speed Dialnumber can be up to 16 digits long. You can chain (link) two Speed Dialnumbers to access longer numbers (up to 32 digits).

Personal Speed Dial / One-Touch Speed Dial KeysYour phone has 10 keys programmable for One-Touch Speed Dial. Justpress these One-Touch Speed Dial keys to dial the stored number. Bypressing D and a One-Touch key, you have an additional 10 Speed Dialkeys. These numbers are your Personal Speed Dial numbers. (If youhave a DSS Console, you can also have One-Touch Speed Dial keys onyour console.) You can also store certain Intercom features under yourOne-Touch Speed Dial keys. This simplifies accessing features that youuse often. Just press the One-Touch Speed Dial key to use the key’sprogrammed feature. You can store any feature that uses the digits 0-9, #and *. You can change the numbers stored for these keys. See theinstructions for storing Personal Speed Dial numbers on page 65 formore.

Storing NamesOptionally, you can store a name with each Personal Speed Dial number.The name displays on your telephone as the number dials out. You canalso use this name with the Directory Dialing feature.

Storing a Pause, Delay or FlashYou can store a Pause in a Speed Dial bin by pressing H where youwant the Pause to occur. When you use the stored number, the systemstops dialing when it encounters the pause and waits for a second dialtone. If the second dial tone occurs, dialing continues. You might want touse a Pause if your Speed Dial number calls a dial-up service (like abanking service) that automatically returns second dial tone. The pauseensures that your number doesn’t dial out too soon. (If you don’t getsecond dial tone, you can always dial * to force the remaining digits todial out.)

In some cases, you may want to store a Delay in lieu of a Pause. A Delayis a fixed wait interval that doesn’t monitor for second dial tone. UseDelay, for example, if you’re not sure the dial-up service will returnsecond dial tone. After the first part of your Speed Dial bin dials out, thesystem waits the Delay interval and then dials the remaining digits. Toenter a Delay while programming the Speed Dial bin, press D whereyou want the Delay to occur.

You can also store a Flash command in a Speed Dial bin. You might want todo this if your system is behind a Centrex or PBX and you need to usecertain Centrex or PBX features. For example, a Flash command frequentlyinitiates a PBX Transfer. To enter the Flash command while programmingthe Speed Dial bin, press F where you want the Flash to occur.

System Speed Dial System Speed Dial numbers are accessible from any extension. If you arean attendant, you normally can store or change these System Speed Dialnumbers. If you are not an attendant, you normally cannot change thesenumbers. Check with your communications manager to see what yourSystem Speed Dial numbers are.- To verify a programmable key’s programming, press CHECK and thekey to verify.
