To voice-signal a system phone at the extension, press [ ✳ ] plus the two-digit extension number and listen for one of the following responses:

■If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You can speak after the beep.

Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If the recipient is present, he or she can reply.

■If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps. Be aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking will probably also hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your voice.

If the recipient has a Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait for a response.

■If you hear ringing, you have reached a standard phone, an idle MLC-6 cordless phone, or a busy system phone with Voice Interrupt On Busy Not Assigned. Your call is not completed until someone answers.
