Line Request
If you want to use a particular outside line that is busy (green light is on), you can tell the MERLIN system to signal you when the line is free. Just touch the busy line button (red light comes on), leaving the handset on the hook. When the line is free, you will hear a beep. Just lift the handset to dial. If you touch another line button or receive a call, or if someone else uses the line before you, your Line Request is cancelled.
ANSWERING AN OUTSIDE CALL
Again, just lift the handset; the system automatically gives you the ringing line.
PLACING AN INTERCOM CALL
Use the Intercom button for calling people who are connected to your MERLIN system. The Intercom button works like any line button.
To place an intercom call, just touch Intercom and dial the in- tercom number you want. When you hear the beep, make the announcement or start your conversation.
The codes for calling people inside your business are as follows:
0 to 5 (Model 206)
10 to 19 (Model 410)
10 to 29 (Model 820)
ANSWERING AN INTERCOM CALL
Answer an intercom call as you would any call: just lift the hand- set to get the ringing intercom line.
