Call Waiting (1 or 2 beeps) You have an inside (1 beep) or an outside

(2 beeps) call waiting (see p. 12).

Understanding Your Telephone

Rings-

The table below helps you identify the different types of ringing. You can also personalize ringing at

your telephone or adjust ring timing for the line buttons where calls arrive. Programming Buttons

& Settings, p. 16, tells you how to change the settings. Listed below are your options:

•Personalized Ring. Allows you to give calls ringing at your phone one of 8 distinctive rings.

•Abbreviated Ring. When you are on a call and another call arrives at your phone, you can

use this feature to give the second call a short ring.

•Immediate Ring. Calls ring immediately on line buttons set this way.

•Delay Ring. This setting causes calls to ring at your phone after a delay. If your calls are

being covered, this allows time for another person to answer a call before you do.

•No Ring. Calls do not ring (except for returning transferred and Callback calls). Calls on lines

set for No Ring do not receive coverage (p. 12).

•Send Ring. Usually, when a call comes in on an SA button, it rings there immediately and

rings at the corresponding SSA buttons after a delay, giving the person with the SA button

time to answer before the call is picked up by someone with a corresponding SSA button.

When busy on another call, the person with the SA button can use the Send Ring setting to

make calls arriving at other SA buttons ring

immediately

on corresponding SSA buttons

instead of after a delay.

Ring Meaning

1 long ring Inside call

1 long ring and 1 short ring Outside call

1 long ring and 2 short rings Priority ring; outside call transferred to you or

returning camped-on call (see p. 12)

This table shows where to look for information about performing specific telephone activities. Any features

that do not have detailed instructions can be used by following the directions in Using Features (p. 9) or

programmed by following the instructions in Programming Buttons & Settings (p. 17).

To use Headset Hang Up:

Press the programmed button to disconnect a call, even if the caller hangs up. Unless you have

programmed a Headset Status button, headset operation is always on.

To use Headset Status:

conversation. The red light goes on when the headset (during headset operation) or the handset

(during handset operation) microphone is off.

-Hold-

When you have a call or conference on hold,

your phone beeps once each minute.

-Making & Answering Calls-

First, review the first three pages of this book

and rings on your telephone. In this guide,

instructions for using features may not include

all the possible ways you can make a call.

To make a call

, lift handset, use a headset, or

press the Speaker button. The line button

with the steady red light is automatically

selected for you. To make a call on a specific

line (for example, an SA or ICOM Voice line

for a voice-announced call), select an unlit line

button and press it before lifting the handset or

pressing the Speaker button. When using a

headset (see p. 5), select a line button first.

2. Press the Conf button to put the call on

hold.

3. Select an ICOM, SA, or numbered line button.

participants is broadcast on the extension’s

speakerphone. To prevent this, be sure to drop

an unanswered extension that you’ve called on

an SA Voice button.

Messaging

Your phone system has several features that allow you to leave messages for others in your office. If you

use Leave Message or Posted Messages, a message appears on the telephone display of the person you

are calling. If you wish to leave a message for a person who does not have a display telephone, leave a

voice mail message, if possible, or ask the system operator to take a message for the person. Here are

some guidelines for different messaging features:

•Leave Message. This feature simply lets a co-worker know you have called. The message shows

your name and the date and time of your call. If you leave one message and then another, the second

message replaces the first.

•Posted Messages. If you post a message at your telephone, inside callers with display phones see

the posted message you have selected. As many as 20 messages may be available for posting.

When a message is waiting for you, your red Message light is lit. The descriptions below explain how to

read, cancel, and delete messages you have sent or received.

If your company has voice mail, ask your system manager for details about using the voice mail system.

For information about having your phone covered by the voice mail system, see Coverage, p. 12.

If you frequently communicate with a small number of people, for example, as a receptionist for a few

co-workers, there are two features you can use, both of which require programming a button. These are

Signaling and Notify, described on the next page.

␣ Leaving Messages␣

To program:

See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.

To leave a message at a busy or unanswered

extension you are calling:

• Press the Leave Message button you

have programmed,

Press the Feature button and dial 25.

• To leave a voice mail message (if your

company has such a system), press the

Feature button and dial 56 (see Direct

Voice Mail, p. 13, for details).

If you cannot leave a message (for example,

because the phone has no display), you hear a

beep. Leave a message with the operator.

To leave a message without calling:

1. Press the Feature button and dial 53.

2. Dial the extension.

To cancel a message:

1. Press the Feature button and dial ✻53.

2. Dial the extension.

␣ Receiving Messages␣

When your Message light is on, you have a

message from the system operator, or, if

programmed for your phone, from a fax

machine or voice messaging system. Call the

operator or ask your system manager how to

retrieve a voice mail message.

To turn your Message light off:

Press the Feature button and dial 54.

␣ Posting Messages␣

To program:

See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.

To post messages, you must program a Posted Messages button. A posted message appears

on the display of any inside caller who tries to reach you as long as that person has a display

phone. There may be as many as 20 messages available to you for posting. Message 1 is always

DO NOT DISTURB

*; 9 other messages, listed below, come with the system, but these can be

changed by your system manager. The remaining 10 messages are created by your system

manager, whom you should ask for details.

Code Message Code Message

01 DO NOT DISTURB 06 IN CONFERENCE

02 OUT TO LUNCH 07 WITH A CLIENT

03 AT HOME 08 WITH A CUSTOMER

04 OUT SICK 09 AWAY FROM DESK

05 IN A MEETING 10 OUT ALL DAY

To post a message:

Press the programmed Posted Messages button and dial the 2-digit code for the message

(01–20).

To cancel a posted message:

Press the programmed Posted Messages and dial 00.

*If you use the Do Not Disturb feature (p. 13) and have a programmed Posted Messages button, the appropriate

message is posted. When you turn off the Do Not Disturb feature, the posted message is canceled, too. However,

posting or canceling the message does not activate or deactivate the feature.

Messaging

-Signaling & Notify-

To program:

See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.

Signaling. Program a button that will cause a co-worker’s phone to beep. The other person can then

call you in response to the beep. You must program a different line button for each extension you wish

to contact. To beep the recipient’s phone, just press the button, and the other phone beeps for as long

as you hold down the button. A programmed Signaling button also acts as an Auto Dial button (see

p. 11). To dial the extension, lift the handset or press the Speaker button; then press the Signaling

button.

Notify. This feature simply lights a line button on the recipient’s phone, providing a silent message

light that alerts the other party to call you. To use this feature, you must program a Notify Send

button (labeled, for example, Notify Mary) on your phone and the recipient must program a Notify

Receive button (labeled, for example, Call Jim) on his or her phone. Communication is one-way

only, and buttons must be programmed for each extension you notify.
