Dialing Conventions - Avaya 2420 User Manual

Dialing Conventions

It is important that you observe the following conventions as you enter speed
dial numbers:
•
You can enter telephone numbers up to 20 characters long, including
special characters and spaces.
•
You must include the code required to access an outside line (for example,
"9") for external telephone numbers.
•
You can use the Pause softkey to insert a 1.5-second pause. It is often
useful to include a pause (or series of pauses) in beeper/pager numbers
to allow a paging system enough time to answer.
•
You can use the Hyphen softkey to insert hyphens between segments of
a telephone number (for example, "9-732-555-1212"). The hyphen may
make the number easier for you to read but does not affect dialing.
Adding Speed Dial Entries
You can store up to 104 personal speed dial entries in the 2420 telephone.
When the maximum number of entries is stored, you must delete existing
entries before the 2420 telephone allows you to enter new ones.
To add speed dial entries to your personal directory
1. From the Home screen, press the SpDial softkey.
The Speed Dial screen is displayed (or, if no Speed Dial List already
exists, the Empty Speed Dial List screen is displayed).
2. Press the Add softkey.
The Edit Name screen is displayed with the Name field underscored.
Note: If the directory is full, a message is displayed indicating that your
Speed Dial list is full. You must delete an existing entry before a
new entry can be added. See "Deleting Speed Dial Entries" on
page 20.
3. Using the dialpad, enter the name for your speed dial entry. You can
enter up to 13 characters. By default, the first letter you enter appears
in uppercase, and the following characters in the word appear in
lowercase.
Note: You can use the Case softkey to switch between uppercase and
lowercase. You can use the Space softkey to insert a space
between first and last names. After you enter a space, the next
character will be an uppercase letter, and the following
characters in that word will appear in lowercase. If you are
entering special characters, you can use the * (star key) to cycle
through the period and star characters. You can use the #
(pound) key to cycle through the hyphen and pound characters.
