Introduction

Beginning with Release 6.3 of the DEFINITY®ECS and/or PROLOGIX™ software, the following enhancements have been made to the Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Program feature:

•Messages appear on the display to step you through the programming procedure. When you program a softkey, you can also program a label of up to five characters that will appear on the display directly above it.

•To be programmable for abbreviated dialing, a button, whether it is a softkey or a hardkey (feature button), must be administered for the Abbreviated Dialing feature. You can use the Button View feature to find the Abbreviated Dialing buttons on your set. (To do this, select BtnVu from the softkey menu; then press the button you want to check.)

NOTE: If the speaker on your set has been deactivated, this feature will not work as described below. See your system manager to activate your speaker.
