System Speed Dial Numbers

Description

This feature lets you program a list of up to 60 frequently dialed numbers for the system. Anyone on the system can then dial a System Speed Dial number by pressing [ Feature ] (or [ # ] at intercom dial tone on a standard phone) and the two-digit code from 20 through 79. You can mark System Speed Dial numbers to override dialing restrictions.

Refer to a completed System Speed Dial form for the list of numbers to be programmed. After programming the numbers, distribute a copy of the completed form to users. See Appendix D for a blank form.

If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code (usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system, include the dial-out code in Speed Dial numbers that must dial out of the PBX or Centrex system.

If you program 911 or other emergency numbers as Speed Dial numbers and want to place test calls, you should: 1) perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening and 2) remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up.

You can use multiple Auto Dial buttons and Speed Dial numbers during the course of a single call. For example, you can use an Auto Dial button or Speed Dial number to dial the Account Code Entry feature code, and another Speed Dial number to dial the account code.
