Setting Up Speed Dial Buttons - Cisco 7970 Phone Manual

Setting Up Speed Dial Buttons

Speed dial numbers allow you to quickly dial phone numbers without requiring you to enter the phone
number each time. For example, if there are phone numbers you call frequently, you can assign them
as speed dial numbers.
You can set up speed dial numbers in two ways:
• You can assign a speed dial number and label to any available programmable button. (Note that
you cannot assign a speed dial number to a button already configured as a line, feature, or service
button.)
• You can assign a speed dial number and label to an index number, which can be any number from
1-99 (on the keypad) to be used with the abbreviated dialing feature. Abbreviated dialing simply
allows you to dial a contact using its assigned index number rather than the entire phone number
each time.
Set up both types of speed dial buttons from your User Options web pages, as described in the table
below. (See the "Logging In to the User Options Web Pages" section on page 35 for more information
about your User Options pages.)
Your system administrator can assign speed dial buttons to your phone; he or she can also
Note
restrict the number of speed dial buttons that you can configure.
