Place Call Using Speed-Dial Codes

Step 2
To place a call using speed-dial while off-hook, perform these steps:
a) Lift the handset and press Speed Dial.

Pause in Speed Dial
You can use Speed Dial to reach destinations that require a Forced Authorization Code (FAC), Client Matter
Code (CMC), dialing pauses, or additional digits (such as a user extension, a meeting access code, or a voice
mail password). When you press the configured Speed Dial, the phone establishes the call to the destination
number and sends the specified FAC, CMC, and additional digits with dialing pauses inserted.
To include dialing pauses in the speed dial, include a comma (,) as part of the speed-dial string. This comma
specifies a pause of 2 seconds. It also allows you to separate FAC and CMC from the other digits in the
speed-dial string.
Be aware of the following requirements when you include FAC and CMC in the speed-dial string:
Note
• FAC must always precede CMC in the speed-dial string.
• A speed-dial label is required for speed dials with FAC and DTMF digits.
• Only one comma is allowed between FAC and CMC digits in the string.
Each comma you include represents an additional pause of 2 seconds. For example, two commas (,,) represent
a pause of 4 seconds.
