Setting Up Speed Dial Features
Speed dial features allow you to press a button or enter an index code to place a call.
You can set up speed dialing for your phone in two ways:
• Speed dialing with a button—You can assign a speed dial number to any available programmable
button on your phone that has not already been configured as a line, feature, or service button.
• Speed dialing with an index code—Using the Abbreviated Dialing feature, you can enter an
assigned index number (1 to 99) rather than dialing the entire phone number.
Set up both types of speed dial features from your User Options web pages, as described in the table
below. (See the "Logging In to the User Options Web Pages" section on page 40 for more information
about your User Options pages.)
