Assigning Personal

Speed Dials

You can create a list of up to 99 Personal speed dials that are available 
only from your telephone. These are usually created when all of the 
Access buttons have been used for One-touch speed dials, telephone 
lines and other features.

To dial them you must press the Feature button and then enter the 
three-digit Personal speed dial number that is associated with that 
telephone number. This feature is especially useful for long telephone 

An asterisk denotes a button that can be 
modified for a One-touch Speed Dial.
