Do Not Disturb (F01)
Description
This feature is available only on system phones.
This feature lets a system phone user press a programmed button to prevent incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). When Do Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ringing while inside callers hear a busy signal. This feature is recommended only if someone answers outside calls for your extension when you do not answer them.
Related Features
■Caller ID information for incoming calls displays only when a call is audibly alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not Disturb activated do not receive Caller ID information, unless the call is answered.
■Users with Automatic VMS Cover (#310) Assigned or with VMS Cover turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All Calls immediately to their voice mailbox.
■Users with Call Coverage turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All Calls immediately to the covering extension.
Considerations
■This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature is on, the light is on also, indicating that the phone will not ring.
■Use this feature when you do not want the PARTNER Attendant or the voice messaging system to transfer calls to you.
■Use this feature if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave your desk, so calls to the Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring immediately at the next available extension in the group.
■To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.
■If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.
■Unanswered calls that are transferred from an extension with Do Not Disturb active will ring at that extension if they transfer return.
■Do not use Do Not Disturb if you are covering calls for another extension because the calls will not ring at your extension.
