What is Speed Dialing? Instead of having to dialing a fax or telephone number using regular dialing (e.g. with the numeric buttons), you can simplify the dialing procedure by registering the fax/telephone number for speed dialing. This will reduce the number of buttons you need to press to dial the fax/telephone number, making it convenient for frequently dialed numbers.
Registering One-Touch Speed Dialing By registering a fax/telephone number under a one-touch speed dialing button, you can simplify dialing of that number to the press of a single button. When you register one-touch speed dialing, you will: – assign one of the 15 one-touch speed dialing buttons for the fax/telephone number you want to register.
