Speed Dialing, which lets users dial a number by pressing three buttons, is
different from
Auto Dialing, which lets users dial a number by pressing a
single button.
When entering a phone number, you can include special functions as well
as digits—see
Special Dialing Functions for more information.
Individuals can have up to 20 additional Personal Speed Dial numbers for
use on their own telephones—see
Personal Speed Dial Numbers for more
information.
You can store account codes as System Speed Dial numbers for use with
the
Account Code Entry feature.
Considerations
You cannot program a System or Personal Speed Dial code onto a button.
To program System Speed Dial numbers that override dialing restrictions,
mark them by entering a star [
✳ ] before the phone number.
System Speed Dial numbers can be programmed only from extension 10 or
11, but can be used from any extension.
Refer to a completed System Speed Dial form from the System Planner for
the list of numbers to be programmed.
If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code
(usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system,
include the dial-out code in Speed Dial numbers that must dial out of the
PBX or Centrex system.
You can use multiple Auto Dial buttons and Speed Dial numbers during the
course of a single call. For example, you can use an Auto Dial button or
Speed Dial number to dial the Account Code Entry feature code, and
another Speed Dial number to dial the account code.
If you program 911 or other emergency numbers as Speed Dial numbers
and want to place test calls, you should: 1) perform such activities in the
off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening and 2) remain on the
line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before
hanging up.
