ÊAuthorization CodesÊ
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 27.
This feature is useful at companies where there are telephones in public areas that are resricted from making some calls.
If your system manager has given you an authorization code, you can pick up someone else’s telephone, enter your authorization code, and make an outside call with your own calling privileges. You must activate the feature and enter your code for each call you make, even when you are adding people to a conference. It is not necessary to use your authorization code for inside calls. Using an authorization code does not affect the button assignments on your own phone or the phone where you enter the code.
Security Alert
Compromise of authorization codes could lead to toll fraud or unauthorized charges.
Memorize your authorization code, and do not share it with anyone.
