Any number of telephones can be assigned to call the
direct-dial telephone.
Hotline
A hotline telephone calls a preset internal or external
telephone number when you pick up the receiver (or press
©).
Bypassing a Hotline
Press a line button, or use the Pre-Dial or Automatic Dial
feature before you pick up the receiver or press
© on
a hotline telephone. See the Telephone Feature Card or see
“Changing how you dial your calls” on page 57.
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.
