Introduction
Beginning with Release 6.3 of the DEFINITY® ECS and/or PROLOGIX™
software, the following enhancements have been made to the Abbreviated Dialing
(AD) Program feature:
•Messages appear on the display to step you through the programming
procedure. When you program a softkey, you can also program a label of
up to five characters that will appear on the display directly above it.
•To be programmable for abbreviated dialing, a button, whether it is a
softkey or a hardkey (feature button), must be administered for the
Abbreviated Dialing feature. You can use the Button View feature to find
the Abbreviated Dialing buttons on your set. (To do this, select BtnV u from
the softkey menu; then press the button you want to check.)
NOTE: If the speaker on your set has been deactivated, this feature will not work as
described below. See your system manager to activate your speaker.

Helpful Hints
•If the number you are entering for an Abbreviated Dialing button is an outside number, be sure to include any applicable trunk codes, for example,
a “9.”
•Numbers programmed on softkeys may be up to 24 digits in length;
numbers programmed on hardkeys (feature buttons) may be up to
16 digits if the hardkey will be used as an auto-dial button or up to
24 digits if associated with a list. If you need help. see your system
manager.
•Special functions such as Pause, Mark, and Wait, may be available on
your softkey menu; if so, they can be inserted in the numbers you
program. These functions may be accessed during programming by
pressing the Menu button.
•You can enter feature access codes on Abbreviated Dialing buttons
instead of telephone numbers so that the button initiates a feature rather
than placing a call.
