PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES

Programmable Feature Introduction

In addition to the SPIRIT system features built into the system, there are some that you
can progam yourself.

First, you can store numbers into the memory of your phone. “Personal SpeedCall”
numbers would include those people you call frequently and maybe those whose
numbers you would rather not look up in a directory.

Second, if you have a 24-button phone, you have two programmable options: 1) manual
intercom signal, and 2) all-call or loudspeaker paging.

Read on to learn how to take advantage of these useful features.
