Do Not Disturb
Considerations and Constraints

9
Do Not Disturb must be programmed onto an available button.
If you turn on Do Not Disturb while receiving a call (ringing or voice-announced),
the caller continues to hear ringback (or a voice-announced caller may stay on the
line), but you do not hear ringing. The Do Not Disturb feature remains on.
When the principal’s Do Not Disturb is turned on, his or her calls ring at other
telephones with shared personal lines or at coverage receivers but not at other
telephones with Shared SA buttons.

Activate Do Not Disturb on a multiline telephone by pressing the programmed Do
Not Disturb button. The green LED next to the button goes on to indicate that the
feature is active. To turn off the feature, press the programmed Do Not Disturb
button again. The green LED next to the button turns off. Feature codes cannot be

In Release 2.0 and later systems, turning on Do Not Disturb on an analog
multiline, MLX-10, or MLX-5 nondisplay telephone does not automatically post the
Do Not Disturb message; program a Posted Messages button for the message to
be posted automatically. In this case, when Do Not Disturb is turned on, the green
LED next to the Posted Messages button lights automatically and the system
posts
DO NOT DISTURB
. When Do Not Disturb is turned off, the system
automatically turns off the green LED next to the Posted Messages button.
