Voice Features

Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected telephone numbers as 3 or fewer digits for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial telephone number, an extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are 3 possible types of lists — personal, group, and system — and you can have a total of 3 lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on group lists are programmable by the controller of the list; system lists are programmable only by the System Manager. Use this feature as a timesaver for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers. Note: Check with your System Manager for the types of lists you have and how many of each.

Automatic Callback sends you a special 3-burst ring tone indicating that a previously busy extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when you want to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone. Note: You can use this feature only for extensions, not outside numbers.

Bridging Permits you to answer or join calls to someone else’s extension by pressing a bridged appearance button on your telephone. This button can be any call appearance labeIed 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 telephone 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. Call Coverage can also automatically redirect your calls when your teIephone is busy, you are out of the office, or you have pressed the Send All Calls button.

Call Forwarding — Busy/Don't Answer Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension or to the attendant if your telephone is busy or you do not answer your calls within a preset number of rings. Use when you want your calls to be forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.

Call Forwarding — Follow Me Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you want your calls to be automatically forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.

Call Park Puts a call on hold at your telephone, for retrieval at any extension. Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you want 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 from the nearest available telephone.
