What the Features Do
Here are brief descriptions of 21 features, including what each one does and how you
might want to use it. You will have the Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Select
Ring, Self-Test, Speaker, and Transfer features. In addition, you may have many of
the other features listed here; your System Manager can advise you.
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 phone 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 during the call attempt (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.
Conference Allow S you to add parties to a call, so that you can conduct up to a
6-way conversation. (If you wish to conference more than 6 parties, call your
attendant for assistance.) Use to set up time-saving conferences, or to spontaneously
include a party important to a discussion.
