Creating a Speed Dial Key
The normal function of the speed dial option allows you to dial a number quickly by pressing a key config-
ured for speed dialing. You can program the keys on the 6905 to speed dial outside numbers, dial directly
to another person’s line or extension, or set it up to quickly access features such as Caller ID (*69) and
voicemail.
The speed dial function can be set using the IP phone UI or the Mitel Web UI .
NOTE: You can use a speed dial key while on an active call by placing the active call on hold first, and then
pressing the speed dial key.
You can create speed dial keys using any of the following methods:
• Using the Mitel Web UI at the paths:
– Operation > Programmable Keys
– Operation > Keypad Speed Dial
• By pressing and holding a programmable key or keypad key
• Using the IP phone UI at the path:
– Options > Preferences > Speed Dial Edit
Speed Dial Prefix
The speed dial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a + that the phone
dials automatically after pressing the speed dial key. You can use this feature for numbers that contain
long prefixes.
For example, if you had the following speed dial configuration in the Mitel Web UI:
Key 1
Type: Speeddial
Value: 1234567+
Line: 2
Then, after you press key 1 on the phone, the prefix number displays on the phone screen. The phone
proceeds to dial the prefix number automatically and pauses for you to enter the remaining phone number
using the keypad on the phone.
Use the following procedures to set speed dial on the 6905 IP phone.
