Speed Dial Prefix
The speed dial feature also allows your system administrator to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a + that the
phone dials automatically after pressing the speed dial key. You can use this feature for numbers that contain long pre-
fixes.
For example, if you had the following speed dial configuration:
Key 1
Type: Speeddial
Value: 1234567+
Line: 2
Then, after you press key 1 on the phone, the prefix number displays on the phone screen. The phone proceeds to dial the
prefix number automatically and pauses for you to enter the remaining phone number using the keypad on the phone.
Use the following procedures to set speed dial on the 6863i IP phone.
Press-and-Hold to Create a Speed Dial
Pressing and holding down a programmable key, softkey, or keypad key on the phone initiates a speed dial feature that is
only saved locally on the phone.

1. Press and hold a programmable key or a number key on the keypad for three seconds. A screen displays with the
prompt, Enter Number>.
