Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual Using Telephones, Basic Call Handling Features

■While on a call on a standard phone, you can use the system phone’s dialpad and fixed-feature buttons to handle calls. For example, you can use the system phone to select a specific outside line or pool, and conduct the call on the standard phone. Or, if someone is on a call using the standard phone, someone else can put that call on hold by pressing

[ Hold ] on the system phone. To do this, it is not necessary to lift the handset of the system phone. Held calls do not ring back at a standard phone in a combination extension. To retrieve a held call from the standard phone, use Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.

■A standard phone’s message waiting light will not light when Background Music is playing through the system phone’s speaker.

■If you have Caller ID, only the system phone can display the Caller ID information.

■The ringer equivalence number (REN) of a standard device or the combined REN of two devices cannot be greater than 2.0. (The REN of a system phone is 0.0.)
