176 / Using System features

Any number of telephones can be assigned to call the direct-dial telephone.

Tip - The digit you dial in order to get the direct-dial telephone to ring can be programmed by your installer or customer service representative.

The Norstar system cannot verify that the number you assign as an external direct-dial telephone is valid. Check the number before assigning it as a direct-dial telephone, and call the direct-dial telephone after you’ve assigned it in order to test it.

Hotline

A hotline telephone calls a preset internal or external telephone number when you pick up the receiver (or press

©).

Tip - Label the telephone to inform anyone using it that Hotline is active.

Bypassing a Hotline

Press a line button, or use the Pre-Dial or Automatic Dial feature before you pick up the receiver or press ©on a hotline telephone. See the Telephone Feature Card or see “Changing how you dial your calls” on page 57.
