One-Touch Access
to Centrex Services
All MLS- and MLC-model phones have preprogrammed [
Conf
] and [
Transfer
]
buttons that can be used for one-touch access to the Centrex services for
conference calling and call transfer. (See the Centrex documentation provided
by your local telephone company for specific instructions; but where instructions
for Centrex conference calling or call transfer say “press the switchhook on your
phone,” press the [
Conf
] or [
Transfer
] button instead.)
Auto Dial buttons let you program a sequence of digits onto a programmable
phone button, and then dial the digits simply by pressing the programmed
button. You can use Auto Dial buttons to store the codes you use to access
Centrex services, or to store frequently-dialed phone numbers for one-touch
dialing.
