Tip - The digit you dial in order to get the
direct-dial telephone to ring can be programmed by
your installer or customer service representative.
The Norstar system cannot verify that the number
you assign as an external direct-dial telephone is
valid. Check the number before assigning it as a
direct-dial telephone, and call the direct-dial
telephone after you’ve assigned it in order to test it.
Tip - Label the telephone to inform anyone using
it that Hotline is active.
