Using Selected Voice Features
The following features are available only if your system manager has
administered them as feature buttons on your 2420 telephone or has supplied
you with the required feature access codes.
The Abbreviated Dialing (AD) feature allows you to store selected telephone
numbers for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or
partial telephone number, an extension number, or a trunk or feature access
code and can contain up to 24 digits. Abbreviated Dialing offers four possible
types of lists—Personal, Group, System, and Enhanced, and you can have a
total of three lists. (Of these three lists, you can have only one System List
and one Enhanced List.) You program numbers on a Personal List; numbers
on Group Lists are programmable by the controller of the list; System Lists
and Enhanced Lists are programmable only by the system manager.
Note: Calls that you make using the Abbreviated Dialing/Automatic Dialing
feature are not stored in the Call Log—even if you have programmed
the 2420 telephone to log outgoing calls.
To place a call using an AD list button or feature access code
1. Press the AD list button (if administered) or Dial the appropriate
AD List code for List 1, or List 2, or List 3.
2. When you hear dial tone, dial the desired list item (1, 2, 3...).
Note: An Enhanced List may also be available; see your system
manager.
You can also program a number on an AD button that is not stored on an AD
list. This Automatic Dialing number can be up to 16 digits and have a five-
character label.
To program a number on an AD button
Note: You must have an Abbreviated Program (Abr Program) button
administered as well as the AD button. For this feature to work,
the speaker will be activated. Pressing does not exit
programming mode. You must hang up to update the display
and exit programming mode.
1. Press the Abr Program button.
2. Follow the prompts on your display to program the number and label.
3. Press the # key to save the entry.
4. Press another AD button to program.
Note: If you make a mistake while programming, press the # key to
save the entry and then start over.
