Making and answering calls

This section explains some convenient features provided by your phone for making a call.
■ Dialling by Name - Quickdial
You want to make a call by entering a name.
Requirement: The name and the corresponding call number are stored in one of the system's
phone book or in an external phone directory connected to the system.
With Quickdial you only need to press the digit keys for each letter once, even though each key
is assigned several letters. An efficient algorithm provides quick search results.
The surname and first name have to be separated by a space (# key), for example "no s" (6 6 # 7)
for Noble Stephen. Ask your system administrator whether you should start with the surname
or the first name.
Notes:
• To be able to search in an external phone book using Quickdial, you need to press the * key or 0-key
before entering the first letter.
• The response time may vary greatly depending on the size and the number of phone books connected.
