Voice Feature Procedures, Abbreviated Dialing AD

Voice Feature Procedures

Handset and Speaker

When placing calls or using the voice features, you have the option of doing so by lifting the handset or by pressing [ Speaker ] . If your voice terminal is set for the Speakerphone feature, pressing [ Speaker ] simultaneously activates the built-in microphone so you can place and answer calls without lifting the handset.

Abbreviated Dialing (AD)

Note: Before you can use this feature, AD buttons must first be assigned by your system manager. (These AD locations can be assigned to actual buttons, or you may be able to access them with the softkeys.)

If you hear the intercept tone while programming, start over from the beginning.

If you have an 8410 with display, you may be able to use the following softkey features with Abbreviated Dialing (Press [ Menu ] and then the softkey below the feature abbreviation):

●Program (labeled Prog) — You can program a telephone number, extension, or feature access code on an AD button.

●Pause (labeled Pause) — A 1.5-second pause can be placed in an AD number, such as between an access code and the telephone number.

●Mark (labeled Mark) — Numbers included after a Mark on an AD button are dialed in Touch-Tone signal form.

●Wait (labeled Wait) — Numbers included after a Wait on an AD button are delayed 5 to 25 seconds until the voice terminal receives dial tone from the switch.

●Suppress (labeled Spres) — Suppressed numbers are dialed but not shown on the display (an “s” appears instead). Used for passwords or authorization codes.

To program/reprogram an AD button

1On a separate sheet of paper, write down the outside numbers, extensions, and/or feature access codes you want to program.

Note: Each AD button will hold one complete phone number or feature access code.
