Speed-Dial Numbers
When you dial a number on your phone, you enter a series of digits. When you set up a speed-dial number,
the speed-dial number must contain all the digits you need to make the call. For example, if you need to dial
9 to get an outside line, you enter the number 9 and then the number you want to dial.
You can also add other dialed digits to the number. Examples of additional digits include a meeting access
code, an extension, a voicemail password, an authorization code, and a billing code.
The dial string can contain the following characters:
• 0 to 9
• Pound (#)
• Asterisk (*)
• Comma (,)—This is the pause character, and gives a 2 second delay in the dialing. You can have several
commas in a row. For example, two commas (,,) represent a pause of 4 seconds.
