PROGRAMMING

You can use a Manual Signaling button to generate a beep at a coworker's voice terminal. Most often, this feature is used by a boss who wants to buzz his or her secretary. Assign a Manual Signaling button to each person you want to signal.

You can signal someone with a Manual Signaling button while you have an outside call in progress.

The beep sounds at your coworker's voice terminal even if it is busy.

If you program this feature on a button with lights, the green light next to the button goes on when your coworker uses his or her voice terminal or uses the Do Not Disturb feature.

You cannot have both a Manual Signaling button and an Auto Intercom button for the same person. If you try to program both, you deactivate the feature that you programmed earlier. You can use either feature to place an intercom call. (See "Auto Intercom.")
