A Quick Look at the Features
Here are brief descriptions of some features, including what each one does and how you
might want to use it. You will have the Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Select Button,
Select Ring, Self-Test, and Transfer features. In addition, you may have many of the
other features listed here; your System Manager can advise you.
Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected telephone numbers as 3 or
fewer digits for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial
telephone number, an extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are 3 possible
types of lists — personal, group, and system — and you can have a total of 3 lists.
Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on group lists are
programmable by the controller of the list; system lists are programmable only by the
System Manager. Use this feature as a timesaver for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or
emergency numbers. Note: Check with your System Manager concerning what types of
lists you have and how many of each.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring tone indicating that a previously
busy extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when you want to
speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone. Note: You can use this
feature only for extensions, not outside numbers.
Bridging Permits you to answer or join calls to someone else's extension by pressing a
bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This button can be any call
appearance labeled with another user’s primary extension number, as assigned to you
by your System Manager. Use to assist in handling calls for a designated co-worker.
Call Coverage Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice terminal
for answering. (Your System Manager determines which calls will be sent to you.)
Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage. Call
Coverage can also automatically redirect your calls when your voice terminal is busy,
you are out of the office, or you have pressed Send All Calls.
Call Forwarding — Busy/Don’t Answer Temporarily forwards all your calls to
another extension or to the attendant if your voice terminal is busy or you do not
answer your calls within a preset number of rings. Use when you want your calls to
be forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.
Call Forwarding — Follow Me Temporarily forwards all your calls to another
extension or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you want
your calls to be automatically forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.
Call Park Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal, for retrieval at any extension.
Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you
want to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for
someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer from the nearest
available voice terminal.
