and Speed Dialling; Speed Dial numbersfrom “21” to “50” can only be usedfor
Speed Dialling.
+ To allow easy identification of the Rapid Keys,attach each strip of Rapid Key
labels above the appropriaterow of Rapid Keys. The arrangementof the keys is
shown in “Operation Panel” at the beginningof this chapter.
Comments:
. Youmay need to add apause betweencertain digits in the number to allowtime
for connection.For example.if you are on a PBX telephonesystem that requires
an accessnumber to be dialled (such as “9’?to accessan outsideline. you will
need to enter a pause between the access number and the telephoneffax
number of the other party. Pauses are entered bypressing the REDIAL key (2
