Special keys
F.13
Manual day/night mode (Code 560)
You can use a programmable feature key to manually change the system’s main auto-attendant greeting,
incoming call destinations, and CO line group access.
1
Each time the key is pressed, the display switches
among:
DAY, NGT, HDAY
(holiday) or
AUTO
.
2
Tip:
To keep the system from being taken out of this mode, place it in auto and then delete the
programmable feature key’s programming.
Notes:
The System Administrator can also change the mode and/or re-record the holiday greeting remotely to
handle unexpected closings, such as for inclement weather.
Headset key (Code 564)
Note:
It’s unnecessary to program this key on an ESI Cordless Handset; one simply plugs in or unplugs a
headset as desired.
This key provides for easy connecting to/disconnecting from calls when operating in headset mode (see
“Headset operation,” page F.10). Press the key to receive dial tone or to answer a ringing call. Press the key
again or press
RELEASE
to disconnect from the call.
Call-forward key (Code 565 or 565XXX)
Note:
Your ESI phone may have a dedicated call-forward key (
CFWD
).
If you frequently call-forward your phone (see “Call forwarding,” page E.9), you can program a programmable
feature key as a call forwarding key to automatically turn forwarding on and off. If you always forward to the
same extension, you can program a key with both
5 6 5
and the extension number.
Redial (Code 566)
This redials the outbound number (
i.e.
, not internal extension) most recently dialed from your station.
Call-forward/no-answer key (Code 567)
Note:
Not available on an ESI Cordless handset.
Enables or disables the call-forwarding/no-answer feature. When this feature is enabled and someone calls
your station but receives no answer, the call will go to the destination you’ve programmed (for more details,
see page E.9). The difference between this feature (
Code 567
) and traditional call forwarding (
Code 565
) is
that, with this feature, your phone actually rings first before going to the selected destination.
Message monitor key (Code 568)
Easily toggle the message monitor mode on or off with this key. (Otherwise, you can perform the toggle by
pressing
PROG/HELP
3 6
and following the prompts.)
Background announce key (Code 569)
During call waiting, you can also make a brief, private
background announcement
(see “Background
announce feature,” page E.12) to the station's earpiece (if the station user has enabled this feature). Hold
down the key until you hear a beep, then begin talking; release the key when finished.
1
Depending on how the Installer has programmed your system, day and night mode for incoming calls and CO line group access may not change
upon use of this key.
2
AUTO
indicates that the system will follow the day/night mode tables programmed by the Installer.
