Adding Speed Dial Keys

Each time you add a contact to your Contact Directory, a speed dial index number is automatically assigned to the contact. If a position is available under the Line Key(s), the contact is automatically assigned to it, and you can place a call to the contact by tapping the Speed Dial Key.

To assign a new Speed Dial Key:

1.Tap > Features > Contact Directory.

2.Tap the Add soft key.

3.Add contact information for the new contact (see Adding Contacts to Your Local Contact Directory on page 2-46).

The speed dial index can be any value between the next available number and a maximum value of 9999.

If you assign a speed dial index number that is already taken, the message “Speed dial index already exists” displays.

Polycom recommends that you assign speed dial index values consecutively.

For example, if you assign the third position to the speed dial index value “2,” assign the fourth position to the speed dial index value “3.”

4.Tap the Save soft key.

5.Tap to return to the idle screen.

Updating Speed Dial Keys

Update a Speed Dial Key to remove or re-order the Speed Dial Keys on your phone. You update a Speed Dial Key by updating a contact’s speed dial index number.
