TELEPHONE OPERATION

Do Not Disturb

When your phone is off-hook (i.e., you are on a call) you will hear a low volume ring when you receive an intercom call. In order to prevent even this audible signal, activate the Do Not Disturb feature. When you activate this feature you will not hear paging tones, voice paging, or incoming call rings. Instead, the LINE light flashes and the INTERCOM light goes on to signal an incoming call or page. If you receive an intercom call, the INTERCOM light flashes, and the intercom number calling you appears on the display. Caller ID information will be displayed for incoming calls from outside.

1Press Nto prevent interruptions. The DND light goes on and the screen display includes DND.

2Press Nagain to resume normal call alerts. The DND light goes off and the screen no longer shows DND.

When this feature is activated, callers from within your 955 system will hear a short repeating tone (like a fast busy signal).
