Speed Dialing
Description
The System supports the following speed dial features:
• Personal Speed Dial (PSD) 
• System Speed Dial (SSD)
• Speed Dial Linking
• Speed Dial Name Assignment
Personal Speed Dial
You can store frequently called numbers using the PSD feature. Up to 20 PSD numbers can be stored 
in PSD bins numbered 80-99. 
You can assign up to 10 PSD numbers to the one-touch keys on a non-display or small-display phone, 
and up to 20 PSD numbers to the soft keys on a large-display phone. Once the PSD numbers have 
been assigned, you dial them by pressing the appropriate key. (For additional information, see “One-
Touch Keys” on page 5-69.)
You can also enter a name up to 7 characters for each of the PSD numbers. This allows PSD numbers 
to be confirmed by name rather than by number.

• Storing a new number erases any previously stored data.
• If the called party’s number and name are stored in the PSD code, that information appears on 
the display when you use the speed dial code.
• Speed dial numbers can contain up to 24 characters. The following table reflects which keys to 
use.
* Indicates that the digits that follow are either a feature access code or an extension 
number. (Not needed if your System is set for Intercom Level.) See Note below.
** Indicates that the digits that follow are for an outside number and the System should 
seize the next available trunk when dialing. (Not needed if your System is set for CO 
Level.) See Note below.
*** Indicates that the enclosed digits should not be displayed during dialing. Must precede 
and follow the digits that you do not want displayed. Example: AUTO *2 555-4143 
AUTO *2.
Note:The System has two levels - CO Level and Intercom Level. If set at CO Level (default), 
you must enter the code for Intercom Level when programming a feature access code or 
extension number for speed dialing. If the System is set at Intercom Level, you must enter the 
MCO Code when programming an outside number for speed dialing.
System Speed Dial
You can store frequently called numbers using the SSD feature. Either 80 or 800 SSD numbers can be 
programmed, depending on how the System is configured. In an 80 SSD-number system, the SSD 
numbers are stored in bins 00-79. In 800 SSD-number systems, the SSD numbers are stored in bins 
000-799.

Considerations
• If numbers do not appear on the display when you use SSD codes (00-79 or 000-799), your 
extension is not programmed to display that data.
• The System can be programmed to allow SSD numbers to override toll restrictions. 
Speed Dial Linking
You can automatically link together up to 6 SSD numbers in 1 PSD bin to handle telephone numbers 
longer than 24 characters. You can then dial the entire number by pressing the programmed PSD key 
or by entering the speed dial bin number.
Alternatively, any combination of PSDs and SSDs can be manually linked together by pressing the 
keys in the desired sequence. This can be useful for prepending account codes or long distance carrier 
access codes, etc.
Note:Before linking multiple SSD numbers to a PSD bin, the SSD bins must already have been 
programmed with the appropriate speed dial information.
