GETTING STARTED
Outside Calls
With outside calls, you can talk to people who aren’t members of your telephone sys-
tem. When you make an outside call, however, you must dial any area codes or long
distance digits that your telephone company requires.

Placing Outside Calls

To place an outside call:
1. With or without the handset lifted, press Outgoing or the OUTGOING menu but-
ton.
2. Dial the desired number.
NOTE: If you see a request for an account code and hear a single beep, you must
dial an account code before you can place your call (see page 71).
Depending on how your system is programmed, you may be able to use one of the
following methods to select an outgoing line, instead of pressing the Outgoing but-
ton:
• Dial the Outgoing Call access code (default is ).
• Dial a Select Line Group access code (defaults are 92001-92208).
• Dial the Automatic Route Selection (ARS) access code (default is 92000).
NOTE: Check with your system administrator to see if your system uses custom-
ized feature/access codes, or if the auto dial feature (see page33) allows you to
dial out directly.
To request a callback (queue on to the line) if all outgoing lines are busy when you
try to call out:
When you hear busy signals, press and hang up. When the line is available, your
endpoint rings.
To cancel the queue request before your endpoint rings:
Press .
When dialing the number, you can press one of the following menu buttons:
• OUTSIDE DIR: Selects the speed-dial directory. (See page72.)
• STN SPEED DIAL: Selects the Station Speed-Dial feature. (See page 67.)
• SYS SPEED DIAL: Selects the System Speed-Dial feature. (See page 68.)
• REDIAL: Redials the last outside number you dialed. (See page 51.)
