Leaving a Station-to-Station Message
When you call another phone and no one answers, you can turn on the BLF light at
the called phone to let them know you called. If your phone is stored as a DSS/BLF
button at the called phone, you can turn the BLF light on yourself. Otherwise, your
message goes to the central message. There the attendant will turn on the message
waiting light of the station you were trying to reach.
To turn on the message light
, dial “*7” when you get no answer.
To turn off the message light
, press ITCM and dial “#7” and dial the station
extension number.
To answer a message reminder
when your BLF light is flashing rapidly, press the
DSS button associated with the lighted BLF light.
Sending an Assist Button Message
Use a Programmed ASSIST button to ask for your supervisor’s assistance while you
are on a call. Press the ASSIST button and the DSS button of the user from whom
you are requesting help. If the extension number was stored in the ASSIST button
programming, simply press the ASSIST button. If the called station is idle, a ring
burst sounds and a message appears in the display. If busy, the message appears
when it becomes idle.
Programming Your Telephone
Automatic Dialing
Autodial allows you to dial long sequences of numbers using just one or to buttons,
allows you to store frequently used feature codes and store station numbers of
frequently called telephones.
Autodial can be stored at any programmable button that is not assigned as a line
button or other feature, on a secondary level under a DSS button or at keypad keys
0-9.
When stored at programmable button locations, outside numbers and feature codes
are referred to as autodial numbers. When they are stored at keypad number
locations, they are referred to as direct station selection (DSS) numbers. The light
associated with the DSS button is the busy lamp field (BLF) light.
If you wish to program an emergency number and make a test call
, the FCC
requires that you stay on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher that you were
testing an autodial button. Please make your test call during off peak hours, early in
the morning or late in the evening.
Before programming, write down the intercom or outside line you will use as well as
the phone number, extension number or feature code you are using.
