Auto Dialing
Description
Auto Dial buttons can be programmed only on system phones.
This Telephone Programming procedure lets system phone users dial outside numbers, extension numbers, feature codes, or account codes with a single touch, by pressing a programmed button. If an extension number is stored on an Auto Dial button, the user can dial, signal, or transfer calls to the extension by pressing the button. An Auto Dial number can be stored on any programmable button (a button with no line or pool assigned) on a system phone.
