Programmable Features

Programmable Features  ONLY  For 24-Button Phones

The 24-button phone is generally used by someone who is responsible for answering
and transferring many calls (usually a boss, secretary, or front desk receptionist). If you
have the 24-button SPIRIT system set, you may notice that two of your line buttons have
not yet been discussed. Buttons 1 through 6 are for placing and receiving outside calls.
Buttons 10 through 25 are the auto-dial buttons for storing personal SpeedCall numbers
and for calling intercom extensions. Buttons 26 and 27 are programmable for one of two
functions.

As a person dealing in a heavy volume of calls, you may need to do two things
frequently: 1) contact one particular intercom extension even when that person is on a
call (e.g., the boss), and 2) page people over the speakerphone or loudspeaker (if you

have a paging system). You can program your phone so that when you want to use
those features you need only press one button (26 or 27) to accomplish them. Here’s
how.

To program the manual intercom signal on a 24-button set:

ACTION

SPEAKER button.

intercom light will go on.

Dial “ 

★ 

” and “0” (zero).

Dial the intercom extension of the
station you wish to signal with a

tone.

Press the button you want to
program (either 26 or 27).

You’ll hear a confirmation tone. That
button when pressed will give off a
signal through the speakerphone at
that station. The signal will occur for
as long as you hold the button, even
when the phone is in use, but not if
Do Not Disturb is on.

NOW YOU TRY IT . . .

Ask a co-worker to stand near his or her phone while you program your
number 26 or 27 button. Follow STEPS 1 through 5 above, and then
press and hold the programmed button. Ask your co-worker to report
what was heard at his or her phone.
