Personal Speed Dial

DESCRIPTION

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

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.

PROGRAMMING

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.
