HOW TO USE

Some features operate differently if a MERLIN II system is behind another

 

system. Note these differences in the “Considerations” subsection of each

 

feature entry in this section of the manual. For information on how to use

 

the speed dial access button in behind-switch systems, see “ PBX, Centrex,

 

or Custom Calling Features” in this section.

 

NOTE: To use the fixed button features of the host system, use the

 

instructions that came with that system.

 

Generally, the Local, Conference, Hold, and Drop buttons function as

 

described in this section for each feature where the use of these buttons is

 

applicable.

DESCRIPTION

CONSIDERATIONS

See “Voice Terminal Type.

If you have a line with another person in a square or behind-switch system, you can easily join (or “bridge” onto) a call in progress on that line. In this way YOU can also join a conference call by just touching a line button and lifting your handset. (See “Conference.” )

A maximum of three people connected to the MERLIN II system, including the originator of the call, can bridge onto a call at one time.

If any of the people on the call have activated the Privacy feature, you will not be able to bridge onto the call.

Under extremely heavy use of the Conference feature, other people in the system may not be able to initiate a conference call or add more participants to a conference in progress by bridging.

HOW TO USE

To bridge onto a call in progress:

 

1 Touch the line button associated with the call.

 

2 Lift your handset.
