Just think about it, why would you want to auto dial yourself? You don't need an autodial key for yourself so the system don't allow you to program it.

No, the T7316 set is digital, this is the reason why you cannot just take it home and have it work. Two different styles of signalling. The T7316 set only works with Nortel Systems.
