3.3 How to Program a Feature
You are ready to begin programming. Keep in mind that all the program-
mable features are set to the factory default. You do not have to go through this
procedure unless you want to turn a feature “OFF” or “ON”, change the number of
rings, security access code(s) or destination port(s).
When entering the programming mode The Stick II will signal you with audible
beeps from the handset. These beeps tell you that you have entered the programming
mode “OK” and to “PROCEED”. You will have 30 seconds to enter your next command.
Your “next” command could be to modify a feature or to save and exit. If nothing is
entered within those 30 seconds, The Stick II will signal with the “OK” beep. Your
programming changes will not be saved and you will have exited the programming mode.
It is as if you DIALED “90” for the No Save/Exit command.
Entering Programming Mode
• Place a call to your friend from LINE 1. (Do not call into LINE 2.)
• Wait at least 5 seconds before continuing.
• DIAL “# # 9 9” on your telephone key pad. The LED will begin blinking rapidly.
• Immediately listen for the “PROCEED” (Bee-Bee-Beep) tones. You have 30 seconds
to begin programming.
You are now ready to modify any programmable feature.
• DIAL the Register Number of the feature you want to modify. (see chart on p. 20-24)
• Next DIAL in the Program Range. (see chart on p. 20-24)
• Immediately listen for the “OK” tones (Bee-Bip), then the “PROCEED” tones (Bee
Bee-Beep) or “ERROR” tones (low pitch beeps) then "PROCEED". You have 30
seconds to begin the next command.

With Unanswered Call Silent Transfer “ON”, the inbound call (routed to the phone) will
be switched over to a designated port (see Silent Transfer Destination) after the unanswered
phone has been rung the Maximum number of rings. Factory preset for this feature is “off”.
Q:
I don’t ever expect to receive a manual fax or a modem call that can't dial
the SAC. Is there another reason I should ever need to turn this feature
on?
A:
No, not normally.
Maximum Rings
This feature allows you to program the number of rings generated to your phones/
answering machine, fax and modem by The Stick II before dropping or transferring the
call (depending on your programming for Unanswered Call Silent Transfer). Maximum
Rings can be programmed anywhere from 1 (minimum) to 30 rings. Factory preset is 8
rings to all equipment.
Q:
Is this feature so my phone, fax or modem won’t ring off the wall if my
answering machine, modem or fax machine won’t pick up the call?
A:
Exactly.
Silent Transfer Destination
After activating the Unanswered Call Silent Transfer feature, you will want to tell The Stick
II where to route the call. The “Destination” programmable feature gives you the option of
routing unanswered calls to any port. Factory preset is Port 4 for both Line 1 and Line 2.
Q:
Won’t my answering machine turn on after so many rings?
A:
Yes and no. Your answering machine will turn on after so many rings if the
call coming in is ringing one of the ports to which you have your phone and
answering machine connected. However, if you have your Maximum Rings
set to 3 and your answering machine set to turn on after 5 rings, then the
call will be dropped before your answering machine turns on.
