What the Features Do

Below is a listing of many commonly used features and a description of how to use them.

Note: You will have the Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Select Ring, and Transfer features. In addition, you may have many of the other features listed here; your System Manager can advise you.

Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected telephone numbers for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial telephone number, an extension number, or a feature or trunk code. Abbreviated Dialing offers 4 possible types of lists– personal, group, system, and enhanced, and you can have a total of 3 out of the 4 lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on all other lists are programmable only by the System Manager. Use as a timesaver for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.

Answering or Placing a Second Call Allows you to answer or place a second call when you are already on a call. Use to avoid missing important calls or to make another call to get information you need for your current call. Note: Incoming second calls may be limited to priority calls depending on how your system is administered; see your System Manager.

Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring indicating that a previously busy or unanswered extension you dialed is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when you wish to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone or in and out of the office. Note: Can be used only for extensions, not outside numbers.

Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away from your voice terminal and you want your calls to be forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.

Call Park Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal, for retrieval at any extension. Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you wish to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer it from the nearest available voice terminal.

Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in your pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is absent or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can only use this feature if

you and the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your System Manager.
