TELEPHONE OPERATION

Temporary Tone Dialing

If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you can change from dial pulse to touch tone dialing during a call by pressing t. This is useful if you need to send touch tone signals for access to telephone banking or long- distance services.

1Dial the number.

2Press and release t. Buttons pressed after this send touch tone signals.

3After you hang up, the phone automatically returns to rotary service.

Conference Calls

This feature lets you set up a three-party call by using two lines at the same time. You can also join an intercom call with a call on an outside line.

1Make or answer a call.

2Press and release H.

3Call someone on another line.

4When this call is answered, press C. The three-party conference begins immediately.

5To end a conference call, hang up. All parties will disconnect.

To talk privately with one party:

1Press Hto place both lines on hold.

2Press a LINE button to talk privately with the person on that line.

3Press Cto resume the conference call.

To drop one line:

Press the LINE button of the party you want to keep. The other line will be dropped.

NOTE: Occasionally, the far-end parties on a conference call might not hear one another.

TELEPHONE OPERATION

Transfer a Call

You can transfer a call you answer to any other 955 phone. Once you transfer a call, it can be picked up at any other 955 phone, not just at the extension you called.

1Press T.

2Enter the extension number where you’re transferring the call.

3Hang up.

Your phone reminds you with a double-beep every 30 seconds when a transferred call has not been answered.

To answer a transferred call, pick up the handset or press the LINE button of the call to use the speakerphone or headset. You will know an incoming call is a transferred call by the distinctive long rings.

NOTE: If you do not dial an extension within 10 seconds, the transfer is automatically cancelled.

NOTE: If a transferred call is not picked up within three minutes, the system will automatically disconnect the call.

Low Battery Indicator

The screen displays LOW BATT when the battery needs to be replaced.
