What the Features Do
Here are brief descriptions of the commonly used features, including what each one
does and how you might want to use it. The first 20 are voice features, and the last 2
are display features.
Voice Features
Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected phone numbers for quick
and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial phone number, an
extension number, or a trunk or feature code. Abbreviated Dialing offers 4 possible
types of lists—personal, group, system, and enhanced—and you can have a total of 3
out of the 4 lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on
all other lists are programmable only by the System Manager. Use as a timesaver
for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring indicating that a previously
busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing
when you wish to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone or in
and out of the office. Note: Can be used only for extensions, not outside numbers.
Bridging Permits you to answer or join in calls to someone else’s extension by
pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This button can be
any call appearance button labeled with another user’s primary extension number,
as assigned to you by your System Manager. Use to assist in handling calls for a
designated co-worker.
Call Coverage Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice
terminal for answering. (Your System Manager determines which calls will be sent
to you.) Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage.
Note: If you have Go to Cover, you (the calling party) can send internal calls
directly to coverage any time after dialing is completed (the person you call must be
in a call coverage group).
Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension
or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away
from your voice terminal and you want your calls to be forwarded to a phone number
of your choice.
Call Park Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal, for retrieval at any extension.
Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you
wish to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for
someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer it from the
nearest available voice terminal.
Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in
your pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is
absent or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can only use this feature if you
and the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your System
Manager.
