How to Use the Features
The procedures which follow give short, step-by-step instructions for using each
feature. For your convenience, features are listed alphabetically.
Special Instructions for General Use
As you operate the features assigned to your voice terminal, keep in mind the
following general rules.
● Follow carefully all the steps listed in the procedure for the particular feature
you are using.
● If you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone)
while attempting to operate any feature, you have taken too much time to
complete a procedural step or have made a dialing error. Hang up, get dial tone,
and begin again at Step 1.
● In many cases, before you begin a procedure, you must have the handset
off-hook (removed from the cradle of the voice terminal).
● Although the Drop/Test button, the Conf/Ring button, and the Transfer/Pause
button are labeled [
Drop ], [ Conf ], and [ Transfer ] respectively, the buttons can
also be used for the second level feature, such as Self-Test, Select Ring, and
Pause.
