HOW TO USE

For more information about basic telephones, see "Basic Telephones."

If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this information.

If you do not want the off-premises telephone to ring on every line, you can specify which lines ring when a call comes in using the Ringing Options feature and programming the lines for immediate or no ring.

You can also specific the order of lines for the phone by programming an Automatic Line Selection sequence. Be sure to program Automatic Line Selection only for those lines to be used by the off-premises telephone.

Basic telephones are able to receive ringing intercom calls, but not intercom calls with voice announcement. Therefore, you must program the Voice Announcement Disable feature for the telephone.

In order to program Voice Announcement Disable, Ringing Options, or an Automatic Line Selection sequence for the basic telephone, you can use either the Centralized Programming feature on the administrator/attendant console or program a substitute MERLIN Plus voice terminal plugged into the voice terminal jack designated for the OPTI.

For more information on assigning lines and features for a basic telephone, see "Basic Telephones."

See the "User's Guide for Off-Premises and Basic Telephone," included with the OPTI, for instructions on how to operate a telephone connected to an O P T I .
