Ending one call and answering another
If another call comes in whilst you are talking to an extension, the wall control unit
will not ring but the display will show the name of the calling extension and the
display’s red backlight flashes. See typical display, right.
To end the first call and answer another:
Either, replace the handset back on-hook to end the first call and wait for the wall control unit to start ringing
again. When it does ring, pick up the handset to answer the next call.
Or, press
END
button to end the first call. The next call will automatically be connected.

To call an extension
Pick up the handset. If there have been recent calls, the recent calls list is displayed otherwise, the full directory is
shown. You can toggle between recent calls and full directory by pressing
DIRECTORY
button. Press
▲ and ▼ to
highlight the extension you want to talk to, then press
CALL/ACCEPT
button to call.
To clear the recent calls list, see section 15.1.
9.5
Manual-answer mode (i.e. auto-answer mode disabled)
By default auto-answer mode is enabled, which means a wall control unit automatically answers an incoming call
when its handset is picked up. This provides a simple method of answering calls but provides less control for an
Operator when there are multiple calls on the system.
In manual-answer mode, the Operator can prioritise and chose which calls to answer, or can ignore calls and chose
to make an outgoing call instead. This mode is usually enabled for Operators who are experienced in the operation
of the EVCS. The mode of operation can only be changed by a system engineer.
To answer a call:
When there is an incoming call, pick up the handset and press
CALL/ACCEPT
button to answer the call.
If necessary, press ▲ and ▼ to highlight the extension you want to talk to and press
CALL/ACCEPT
button
to answer the selected call.
To end a call:
Hang up the handset or press
END
button.
To end a call and answer another:
First, press
▲ and ▼ to highlight the call you want to end and press
END
button.
Then, press
▲ and ▼ to highlight the extension you want to talk to and press
CALL/ACCEPT
button to talk
to the extension.
To call an extension
This is the same procedure as described in section 9.4.
