3-104 MERLIN II System Features
You can assign a 3-character Personal Speed Dial code (from #01 through
#24) to telephone numbers, PBX, Centrex, or Custom Calling feature codes,
or account codes you frequently dial. This feature is intended for people who
have 5-button or 10-button analog phones or basic telephones that don't have
available buttons on which to program the Outside Auto Dial feature. A
Personal Speed Dial code can represent a sequence of up to 16 numbers and
special characters.
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test
IMPORTANT:
calls to emergency numbers:
1 Remain on the line until the dispatcher answers and
briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging up.
2 Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early
morning or late evening.
Personal Speed Dial requires a dialing code. You do not place these codes
on a phone button.
You cannot use this feature with 34-button phones.
You cannot use codes #1 through #12 with a 22-button phone.
You may need to program a pause, stop, or switchhook flash into a
Personal Speed Dial sequence, or you may need to switch from rotary to
Touch-Tone signals in the middle of a programmed dialing sequence. To
do so, enter special characters when you program the sequence. See
"Special Characters in a Programmed Dialing Sequence" in this section.
If your system uses account numbers on printed call reports, you can
assign a Personal Speed Dial code to frequently dialed account numbers.
Then, while you have a call in progress for which you need to dial an
account code, you can dial the 3-digit speed dial code instead.
If your system is set up for Dial Access to Line Pools, a Personal Speed
Dial code must include a Pool Access code and two pauses before the
telephone number. For example, to set up a Personal Speed Dial code in
a system in which you usually dial the access code 891 before you dial an
in-state telephone number, you would dial the Pool Access code, 891,
press Hold twice, and then dial the 7-digit telephone number.
