Lines with hot or warm line function

The function is activated when on

you lift the handset on the phone and press the line or loudspeaker key
• the secondary line
you press the line key.
A number specified by you is dialled with a hot line immediately and with a warm
line after a specific time.
Examples:
• The phone in the lift immediately dials the reception number.
• The phone at a patient’s bed dials the ward number e.g. after a minute if no
other number is dialled.
