Signal/Notify
buttons are typically labeled with the names of the sender and recipient, for
example, “Notify Mary” at the sending telephone and “Call Consuela,” at the
receiving telephone.
When the sender presses the Send button, a green LED turns on next to the
Receive button at the receiver’s telephone and the Send button at the sender’s
telephone. Both LEDs remain on until either the sender presses the Send button
again or the receiver presses the Receive button.
The visual notification, lighting the destination telephone’s LED, is sent only one
way, from the sender to the receiver. If both users want to send and receive the
visual notification, both telephones must be programmed with Send and Receive
buttons. Unlike the Signal feature, Notify cannot be used to see the status of a
destination extension, nor can it be used to automatically dial the extension.

Notify and Signal buttons cannot be used on QCCs; however, pressing a DSS
button sends a signal to the extension associated with the DSS button in the
following instances:
■
A QCC operator is timed out from dial tone on a Call button or presses the
Forced Release button while listening to dial tone on a Call button.
■
A QCC operator, with a call in a split condition, presses the Source button
after contacting the destination but does not connect both parties by using
the Join button. If the operator presses a DSS button, a signal is sent to
the destination extension.
