Note: If you cannot place an external call because all outgoing lines are busy, you can request a callback, which prompts the system to contact you when a line becomes available. See “Requesting a Callback (Queuing the Phone)” on page 46.
If you are prompted for an account code (indicated by a single beep), you must enter an account code before you can place your call. See “Using Account Codes” on page 52.
Depending on system configuration, you may also be able to use one of the following methods to select an outgoing line:
•Enter the Select Line Group feature code. The default codes are 92001 to 92208.
•Enter the Automatic Route Selection (ARS) feature code. The default code is 92000.
Contact your system administrator for more information about using Select Line Group or ARS access codes.
Redialing a Number
You can quickly redial the last external number dialed. You cannot redial extension numbers.
To use Redial:
With or without the handset lifted, press
(Redial). The system automatically selects a line and dials the number.
