Abbreviated Dialing (AD)

To program or re-program a single Abbreviated Dialing button on a Line/Feature button

Note: If you make a mistake while programming, you CANNOT move back a space to erase it. Instead, press the # key or go on-hook to erase the entry and start over.

1. Write down the outside numbers, extensions and/or feature access codes you want to program. (Each AD button holds one complete phone number or feature access code.)
   
   
2. To enter programming mode, press , then press the softkey below Prog

   The phone goes off-hook, the Speaker indicator lights and the message "Press button to program" displays.

3. Press the pre-administered Line/Feature button you want to program for Abbreviated Dialing.

   The message "Enter number" displays.

4. Enter the outside number, extension or feature Access Code you want to store. An automatic dialing number or code can be from 1 - 16 digits. (24 digits are allowed if the number is associated with an AD list; see your System Administrator for information.) When programming an outside number, be sure to include the trunk code, for example, a "9" if applicable.

   Note: Your phone display may allow you to use softkeys to add special functions such as a pause, a mark or a wait into your AD number. If so, they can be accessed during programming via the Menu button and inserted into the number being programmed.

5. Press the # button to save the number or code.

   A three-beep confirmation tone indicates the AD number has been stored and the message "Number saved" displays  for one second; then the message "Press button to program" redisplays.

6. Record the number, code or other identification on the label next to the AD button.
   
   
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 7 to program additional AD buttons.
   
   
8. To end programming, hang up by pressing the button or lifting and replacing the handset.
