To receive a non-handsfree intercom call:
EITHER, Press the
Answer .
OR, Lift the handset for privacy.
NOTE: You must lift the handset if the caller has the Ring Intercom Always feature
(377) enabled.
Instead of answering a ringing call, you can press one of the following menu but-
tons:
• SEND TO V-MAIL
: Sends the call directly to your voice mailbox. You will not
see this option if you do not have a mailbox.
• IC CALL TO DND : Places your endpoint in DND mode and blocks the call.
(See page 63 for more information about DND mode.)
• SEND TO DEST : Redirects the call to the intercom or outside number that you
enter. (See page 55 for more information about the Redirect Call feature.)
Outside Calls
With outside calls, you can talk to people who aren’t members of your telephone sys-
tem. When you make an outside call, however, you must dial any area codes or long
distance digits that your telephone company requires.
Placing Outside Calls
To place an outside call:
1. With or without the handset lifted, press Outgoing or the OUTGOING menu but-
ton.
2. Dial the desired number.
NOTE: If you see a request for an account code and hear a single beep, you must
dial an account code before you can place your call (see page 81 ).
Depending on how your system is programmed, you may be able to use one of the
following methods to select an outgoing line, instead of pressing the
Outgoing but-
ton:
• Dial the Outgoing Call access code (default is
).
• Dial a Select Line Group access code (defaults are 92001-92208).
• Dial the Automatic Route Selection (ARS) access code (default is 92000).
NOTE: Check with your system administrator to see if your system uses custom-
ized feature/access codes, or if the auto dial feature (see page 37 ) allows you to
dial out directly.
