handset and attempt an outside call. On MLX display telephones, the feature
name appears on the display. Enter the account code and press the programmed
Account Code Entry button; the green LED goes from flashing to on. Then select
the outside line and proceed with the call.

Code Entry or Forced Account Code Entry. If this feature is to be used, the
single-line telephone must be programmed through Idle Line Preference to select
an SA or ICOM button so that the user hears inside dial tone when the handset is
lifted for an outgoing call.
Single-line telephones must have touch-tone dialing to use the Account Code
Entry feature.
When a single-line telephone user hears inside dial tone, the user can activate the
feature by dialing
