Incoming Calls, Answering Calls, Extending Calls | AT&T System 25

Incoming Calls	❑
	✓

You can use either your SLAC or Selector Console to send calls to other telephones. Before you send (extend) a call, you can check to see if the person will accept the call. (This is called an Announced Call.) While you are talking, the caller is on hold and cannot hear you.

You can also send calls to other telephones without announcing the call (Unannounced Call). If you send a call from outside the System 25 to a busy telephone, the caller is automatically placed on hold and a Call Waiting signal is sent to the busy line. If the person does not answer the call, it will be returned to you after a preset interval.

Answering Calls

1 Lift the handset.

2 Speak with the caller.

Extending Calls

1 Press START and listen for dial tone.

2 Dial the extension.

3 If you do not announce the call, or if you announce the call and the person will accept it, press RELEASE and hang up.

NOTE: If you have been assigned the Automatic Release Option, it it not necessary to press the RELEASE button. You can continue with other calls by pressing another LOOP button, and you may release the call by hanging up.

4 If the person does not want to accept an announced call, press CANCEL and speak with the caller before hanging up.

NOTE: Unannounced Calls that are not answered return on a LOOP button.
