Abbreviated Dialing
Allows you to dial frequently called or emergency numbers with just a few button
presses instead of dialing the entire number one digit at a time. You can use
Abbreviated Dialing to dial both internal and external numbers of up to 36 digits.

can dial frequently dialed numbers with just one button press.

ongoing cost of your outgoing call on your telephone display while the call is in
progress. This can help you save money by keeping expensive calls relatively

set or headset in listen and speak mode. This allows you to serve as spokesper-

room is listening to what is said.
Group Paging
Group Paging allows you to make immediate announcements to groups of peo-
ple via their speakerphones. The announcements are one way (speak only for
you, listen-only for the recipients), and automatically turn on each station’s
