ÊDo Not DisturbÊ

Must be programmed on a button. To program:

See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.

This feature prevents calls from ringing at your extension, although outside calls at line buttons cause the green lights to flash. If you have coverage, your calls are covered. If you have programmed a Posted Messages button (p. 8), inside callers with display phones see Do Not Disturb when they attempt to call you. A system operator or the person providing individual coverage for you can still call you. Callback calls and returning transfers ring at your phone.

To use:

Press the programmed button to turn on or off. When the feature is on, the green light is on.
