Personal
DESCRIPTION
Speed Dial
You can use the programming instructions below to assign a 3-character
Personal Speed Dial code (from #01 through # 24) to telephone numbers,
PBX, Centrex, or Custom Calling feature codes, or account codes you
frequently dial.
This feature is especially useful for people who have 5-button
or 10-button analog voice terminals and don’t have many available buttons on
which to program the Outside Auto Dial feature.
You can assign a Personal Speed Dial code to a sequence containing up to 16
numbers and special characters.
CONSIDERATIONS
PROGRAMMING
Personal Speed Dial uses a dialing code. You do not place these codes on
a voice terminal button.
This feature should be used only on 5-button or 10-button voice terminals.
If you try to use this feature on a larger voice terminal, you could corrupt
the features you have programmed on buttons to the right of the dial pad.
You may need to program a pause,
stop, or switchhook flash into a
Personal Speed Dial sequence, or you may need to switch from rotary to
Touch-Tone signals in the middle of a programmed dialing sequence. To
do so, you must enter the following special characters when you program
the sequence.
(For more information about using special characters in a
dialing sequence, see
“Special Characters in Programmed Dialing
Sequences. ” )
. To program a pause, touch Hold.
● TO program a stop, touch Drop.
● TO program a switchhook flash, touch Recall and then touch Hold.
● TO program Touch-Tone Enable into a dialing sequence, touch
Transfer.
If your system uses account numbers on printed call reports, you can
assign a Personal Speed Dial code to frequently dialed account numbers.
Then while you have a call in progress for which you need to dial an
account code, you can dial the 3-digit speed dial code instead.
If your system is set up for Dial Access to Line Pools, a Personal Speed
Dial code must include a Pool Access code and two pauses before the
telephone number.
For example, to set up a Personal Speed Dial code in
a system in which you usually dial the access code 891 before you dial an
in-state telephone number, you would dial the Pool Access code, 891,
touch Hold twice, and then dial the 7-digit telephone number.
The Personal Speed Dial feature is not associated with
a voice terminal button.
To program a Personal Speed Dial code for a number you frequently dial:
1 Enter programming mode.
2 Dial a Personal Speed Dial code ( #01 through # 24).
3 Dial ’90 and, if required, a Pool Access number and two pauses (touch
Hold twice) plus a telephone number or a PBX, Centrex, or Custom
Calling feature code.
4 Leave programming mode.
