HOW TO USE

You can program the order in which your system makes lines available to you for outside calls. For example, if you usually make long distance calls, you might specify a WATS line as the first line in your Automatic Line Selection. Whenever you lift your handset or touch Speakerphone, the system connects you to the WATS line, unless you select another line manually. If the first line in your Automatic Line Selection sequence is busy, the system connects you to your second choice line, and so forth.

●You can place up to eight lines in an Automatic Line Selection sequence.

●You can include either outside lines or intercom lines in the sequence, but you should not mix the two types of lines.

●If your system is set for Dial Access for Line Pools or for Automatic Route Selection, you probably won’t need Automatic Line Selection, unless you have a private line.

●If you plan to program other features when you program Automatic Line Selection, you must program Automatic Line Selection first. If you’re already in the middle of a programming session, leave and reenter programming mode before you program Automatic Line Selection.

To program an Automatic Line Selection sequence, enter programming mode and follow these steps:

1 Dial **

2 Touch the buttons in the order you prefer.

3 To program other features, dial ** again. Otherwise, leave programming mode.

When you want to place an outside call:

1 Lift your handset or touch Speakerphone.

The MERLIN II system connects you to the first free line in your Automatic Line Selection

sequence.
