If you are the only Attendant on the system and you attempt to change the console status to Absent, a warning message will appear on your screen: ‘Absent Feature Disallowed for Last Attendant. Select Night Service.’ For more information about Night Service, see page 32.

Note: Unplugging the handset or headset will automatically change the Attendant Status to Absent. See Unplugging Handset or Headset on page 10 for more information.
