Section 3: Features
DS1000/2000 Product Description
Headset Compatibility
Availability: All versions.
A keyset user can utilize a customer-provided headset in place of
the handset. Like using Handsfree, using the headset frees up the user’s hands for other work. How-
ever, the headset provides privacy not available from Handsfree.
An example of compatible headsets are GN Netcom Orator-G or Plantronics Mirage. The headset
you choose should have a noise-canceling microphone.
Feature Quick Steps
To enable the headset mode:
1.
Unplug the handset but leave it in the handset Plug in the headset or headset adaptor.
When in the headset mode:
●
Press a line key to place or answer a trunk call, press
ICM
to get Intercom dial tone, or, if on a
call, press
SPK
to hang up.
User Programmable Feature: # H S
Enables or disables the headset mode.
Hold
Availability: All versions.
Hold lets an extension user put a call in a temporary waiting
state. The caller on Hold hears silence or Music on Hold, not conversation in the extension user’s
work area. While the call waits on Hold, the extension user may process calls or use a system fea-
ture. Calls left on Hold too long recall the extension that placed them on Hold. If the recall is unan-
swered, the call diverts to Key Ring.
There are four types of Hold:
System (Regular) Hold
With System Hold, an outside call a user places on Hold flashes the line key (if programmed) at all
other keysets. Any keyset user with the flashing line key can pick up the call. An extension user can
pick up a trunk on System Hold at another extension if they know the trunk number.
Exclusive Hold
When a user places a call on Exclusive Hold, only that user can pick up the call from Hold. The
trunk appears busy to all other keysets that have a key for the trunk. Exclusive Hold is important if
the user doesn’t want a co-worker picking up their call on Hold.
