•Identify the phone that you will use as the console phone.

•Follow the regular installation instructions in this manual.

•Enable the console phone.

•Store the Centrex pickup codes and the seven- or ten-digit phone num- bers, as directed by your phone company, in the one-touch locations. (See One touch beginning on page 30.)

Once another system phone has enabled its delayed ring, the console phone will receive those calls. All the phone features work in the same manner as described in this manual.

The console phone can pick up other Centrex lines through Centrex switching. You can store the Centrex pickup codes and the seven- or ten-digit phone number (as directed by your phone company) of each station, except for the console phone, in the one-touch locations.
