How to Use the Features

The following procedures 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 telephone, keep in mind the following general rules.

Carefully follow all the steps in the procedure for each 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 or press the (unlabeled) Drop button, get a dial tone, and begin again at the first step.

In most cases, before you begin a procedure, you must have the handset off-hook (removed from the base of the telephone).

To the right of each Phone Feature is a box marked with a check ( ). This check will remind you that you can use the feature immediately, without help from your system manager.
