The SpeedCall Feature

The SPIRIT Communications System can store seventy numbers in its memory. These
are "system SpeedCall" numbers. Fifty of them (codes 30-79) are available for use by
people throughout the system even those whose phones are outward or toll restricted.
Twenty (codes 80-99) can be dialed only by those with unrestricted telephones. See the
description of customized "Outside Service" in the Administration Manual for more detail
on the optional restriction feature.
The numbers you typically store are those that people in your organization call regularly:
distributors, suppliers, vendors, affiliates, etc. It is common to store emergency numbers
in memory such as the police and fire department. You can also store long-distance
access codes and information numbers (555-1212). When you want to reach those
people, you need only dial an assigned two-digit code rather than the full number. The
decision maker may already have some or all of those seventy numbers decided. Find
out. If not, you may want to be involved in that decision. Instructions for storing the
system SpeedCall numbers are in the Administration Manual.
But in addition to those seventy numbers you personally may store up to sixteen
numbers of your own into the memory. These are your "personal SpeedCall" numbers.
They would include people you call frequently that are not included in the system's
seventy numbers. You might store your home number or your spouse's office. The two-
digit codes selected for each of your personal SpeedCall numbers must be between
"10" and "25." For instance, you cannot store a personal number with the code "36."
Also note that set #10 is used in conjunction with the Administration Switch on the
Controller to set system SpeedCall numbers. For setting personal SpeedCall numbers,
the person using set #10 must store them when the Administration Switch on the
Controller is off.
If you have a 6-button phone. . .
Store your personal SpeedCall numbers and record them on the paper label that fits
above the line buttons on your phone.
If you have a 24-button phone. . .
You will find an auto-dial button for each of the sixteen numbers you store (numbers
10-25) with a label next to it for recording the party's name.
Now that you have the basics, let's try storing a few numbers.
