Auto Dialing

Description
Auto Dial buttons can be programmed only on system phones.
This Telephone Programming procedure lets system phone users dial outside
numbers, extension numbers, feature codes, or account codes with a single
touch, by pressing a programmed button. If an extension number is stored on an
Auto Dial button, the user can dial, signal, or transfer calls to the extension by
pressing the button. An Auto Dial number can be stored on any programmable
button (a button with no line or pool assigned) on a system phone.
