Considerations
■It is recommended that you use only one automated answering option for incoming calls (either this feature, the Automated Attendant Service of the voice messaging system, or a PARTNER Attendant).
■Direct Extension Dial does not transfer calls to Calling Groups.
■This feature can handle three outside calls simultaneously.
■If you have lines programmed for Direct Extension Dial and Automatic System Answer, Direct Extension Dial answers the call first.
■A Direct Extension Dial button must be programmed on a button with lights on the system display phone at extension 10. (This feature will not work if it is programmed on a button without lights.)
