Configuring Speed Dial softkeys
The
Speed Dial
softkey allows you to dial a specified number with one tap of the key.
Speed Dial
softkeys can be useful as they can be programmed to dial external numbers, dial directly to another
person’s extension or quickly access features that use feature access codes. You can also transfer
calls to or create conference calls using your Speed Dial softkeys in place of dialing out manually.
Press-and-hold to create a Speed Dial
To program or edit a
Speed Dial
softkey:
1. Press and hold the applicable top or bottom softkey for the configured duration.
2. In the
Top Softkey
field, enter a label to apply to the key using the on-screen keyboard.
3. Tap the
Number
field and enter a number using the on-screen keyboard.
4. In the
Line
field select a line to apply to the key.
This is the line that the phone opens to dial the number after you tap the respective
Speed Dial
softkey. By default, the phone uses Line 1 for the
Speed Dial
softkey. If you want to use a different
line, tap the left or right arrow buttons to select another line.
5. Tap the
Save
softkey.
