Customized Features

The person responsible for maintaining your system may have customized some of the features so that the system better meets the needs of your company. Because of this customization, your telephone may not work exactly like another telephone in the same system. Following is a list and brief description of some of the ways your telephone may be customized. See the person who maintains your system if you have questions.

AUTOMATIC LINE SELECTION. When you pick up your receiver, or press SPEAKER, you may not hear a dial tone. Some systems will be customized so that you must press a line button that is not in use before making an outside call. If you are using a 2448 system, you may have to enter a dial code to select a line.

LINE USE PERMISSION. Some lines may be customized so that they cannot be used by your telephone. Some may be customized so that you can answer them, but not dial out on them.

LINE RINGING OPTIONS. The ringing options may be customized. The lines on your telephone may be set to ring normally, ring for 12 seconds and then stop, or not ring for the first 12 seconds and then start ringing. They may also be customized to not ring at all for incoming calls. These options may not be in effect when Night Service is on.

NIGHT RINGING. When Night Service is on, your telephone may ring as it usually does or it may be set to ignore the customized ringing options.

OUTSIDE SERVICE. Your telephone may be customized so that you can place any outside calls, any calls but toll calls, or no outside calls at all.

PRIVACY RELEASE. The system may be customized so that privacy release is not required for another person to join a call.
