ADMINISTRATION

You can use a programmed button or a dial code for the Hold Retrieve feature.

To use a Retrieve Call button to retrieve a held call:

1Touch Retrieve Call.

To use a dial code to retrieve a held call:

2Dial #*.

Each voice terminal connected to the MERLIN Plus system has a unique

2-digit intercom number. You can dial intercom numbers to place calls to people connected to the system.

In the MERLIN Plus system, you place an intercom call with a voice announcement. Your coworker hears your voice through the voice terminal speaker, but must lift the handset to respond to you. If a person has a 10- button HFAI or a 34-button BIS voice terminal, he or she can speak to you without lifting the handset.

However, if the person you are calling has activated the Voice Announcement Disable feature, your intercom call rings rather than beeps at the person's voice terminal and you cannot give your voice announcement. (See "Voice Announcement Enable/Disable.")

If you program an Auto Intercom button for the intercom number you want to call, you can dial the number with one touch. (See "Auto Intercom.")

Since a voice announcement does not interrupt an outside call in progress, you can announce an intercom call to a person busy on another line.

If you do not finish dialing an intercom number within fifteen seconds of the time you lift the handset, the line becomes available again.

None
