Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in your
pickup group. Use when you want to handle a call for a group member who is absent or
otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can use this feature only if you and the called
party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your System Manager.
Conference Allows you to add a third party to a call, so that you can conduct a 3-way
conversation. (If you want to conference more than 3 parties, call your attendant for
assistance.) Use to set up time-saving conferences or to spontaneously include a third
party.
Drop Disconnects from a call without requiring you to hang up the handset or press the
switchhook. Can also be used with the Conference feature to disconnect the last party
added. Use whenever you want to continue using the handset after ending a call.
Hold Puts a call in a holding state until you can return to it. While a call is on hold, you
can place another call, activate another feature, answer a waiting call, or leave your voice
terminal to do another task. Use when you have a call that you don’t want to drop, but
have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Intercom (Automatic/Dial) Gives you quick access to specified voice terminals. With
Automatic Intercom, you can call predetermined persons by pressing a single feature
button. With Dial Intercom, you can call any member of a predetermined group by
pressing a feature button and then dialing the group member’s 2- or 3-digit code.
Last Number Dialed Automatically redials the last number you dialed, either an
extension or an outside number. Use to save time in redialing a busy or unanswered
number. Available with DEFINITY Generic 2 and System 85 R2V4 and some R2V3
systems. Check with your System Manager to see if the feature is available in your
system.
Leave Word Calling (LWC) Leaves a message for another extension to call you back.
The called party will be able to dial the message center, AUDIX, or a covering user to
retrieve a short, standard message which gives your name and extension, the date and
time you called, and the number of times you called. Use any time you want to have
someone call you back; it will help cut down on repeated call attempts.
Message Lets you know that a caller has left a message for you when the message
light goes on. You can then follow your System Manager’s local message retrieval
procedures to get your message. See the Message procedure on page 18.
Priority Calling Allows you to call another extension with a distinctive 3-burst ring to
indicate that your call requires immediate attention. Use when you have important or
timely information for someone.
