other extension users for speed dialing. Use the table provided in
the Reference section to record the System Speed Call numbers
you will most likely need.

The stored telephone number is dialed automatically.
Notes:
• If you find that you are frequently dialing the same numbers,
add them to your personal Speed Call list in the Scratch Pad.
For more information, see page 41. You can also use the
Bulletin Board to store speed call numbers for use by all
attendants. For more information, see page 28.
• Programming system speed call numbers is done by your
communications department and cannot be done from the
console.
Tone Signaling
You may have noticed that when you dial a number at your
console, you don’t hear any of the tones or pulses normally
associated with telephones. This is because your console
‘communicates’ with the rest of your telephone system with
different types of signals. However, there are times when you
need to send tones in order to complete your call. Typically,
special services such as voicemail require passwords or other
information in the form of tones before allowing access.
To generate tones
Once the connection is made and you are prompted to enter
digits:
1. Press Tones.
The Tones indicator in the Console Status area appears
dimmed when tone signaling is turned off.
2. Dial the code.
To turn off tone signaling
• Press Release
to disconnect your console from the call. Tone signaling stops
automatically.
Or
• Press Tones again
to turn off the tones.
